Tenant filed a false case and is not vacating the property
4 months ago
My mother is a single parent, 63+ years old and the landlord of the property. My tenant was a repeated defaulter in rent payment. After several arguments with him every month we asked him to vacate property in 2021 and gave him 6 months time (when his rent was 5 months due). After 6th month still rent not settled, we told him vacate the property. He went and filed a false case in court stating we are asking him 4x times the advance and 2x times the rent and forcing him to vacate if he doesn't pay this amount. Then we went to police (with lawyers) and after discussion tenant came to a settlement (that he will pay the usual rent amount) and his lawyer wrote a letter in front of the police and tenant signed it stating that he will need time for 18 months then he will vacate. Now in December 2023, that 18 months are over and rent was delayed every month, and right now it's 3 months over due. We asked him to vacate now and again he is saying he won't vacate and showing us the court copy again that his case is still active.
Please suggest what we can do to get him OUT of our property? He is torturing us a lot since 3 years.
