Why you need it

When you need it

Use this reply when a tenant has received an eviction, quit or tenancy-termination notice and needs a disciplined written response before or alongside any Rent Controller/Rent Authority proceeding. The reply should identify the notice, separate admitted facts from disputed allegations, state the letting date and Rent Act track, preserve rent-payment facts and explain why the landlord’s asserted ground is denied, incomplete or capable of cure. Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 may govern contractual termination of a monthly or yearly tenancy, but service of such a notice does not by itself evict a statutory tenant protected by the applicable Rent Act. In Punjab, the letting date distinguishes the saved 1949 Act track from the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 track under this drafting order; Chandigarh uses the 1949 Act throughout. The tenant should not make unnecessary admissions, deny obvious facts, or threaten unrelated criminal action. If a rent petition has already been filed, the formal defence must also comply with the forum’s summons, leave-to-contest, affidavit and time requirements.
