Sir/Madam,
Under instructions from and on behalf of my client, Vikram Singh son of Shri Harbans Singh, aged about 52 years, resident of House No. 45, Gulab Colony, Amarnagar, Tehsil and District Amarnagar, Punjab, I hereby serve you with the following legal notice:

3.That you are called upon to vacate the premises and hand over their vacant, peaceful possession on or before 30-11-2026, after paying all rent and charges up to that date. If you fail to do so, you shall be liable for damages for use and occupation, and proceedings for eviction will be taken against you, at your risk as to costs.

What to bring
Papers to bring
- The rent deed or agreement, and your record of the rent (receipts or bank entries)
- Proof that you own the premises or let them out: the deed, allotment letter or property-tax record
- The tenant's full name and address
Where to go
Signed by you, or by your advocate for you, and sent by registered post with acknowledgment due (AD) or speed post to every address of the other side that you know; e-mail or WhatsApp can be added.
Fee
No stamp paper or court fee is needed for a notice: you pay the postage, and the advocate's fee if an advocate sends it.
Good to know
- A monthly tenancy ends 15 days after the tenant receives this notice, unless your agreement fixes another period.
- Where the Punjab or Haryana rent Act covers the building, only the Rent Controller can evict, on the grounds it allows: see "Eviction petition before the Rent Controller (s.13, Punjab or Haryana rent Act)".
- Never lock the premises, remove goods or cut water or electricity to force the tenant: that is unlawful.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
Stamp paper
Plain paper is enough.
