Can tenant be evicted for non-payment under the Act?

The Punjab Tenancy Act 1887, like most tenancy laws, provides a framework for landlord-tenant relationships. Eviction for non-payment is permissible, but it must follow due process.

• The correct option, "Yes, after due notice," highlights that landlords cannot arbitrarily evict tenants. They must issue a formal notice, giving the tenant an opportunity to pay the outstanding rent, before initiating legal eviction proceedings. This ensures fairness and protects tenant rights.
• "No" is incorrect because non-payment is a legitimate ground for eviction.
• "Yes, anytime landlord wishes" is false as it disregards legal procedures and tenant protections.
• "Only with police" is also incorrect; police involvement typically occurs only after a court order for eviction has been obtained, not as the initial step in the process.
