Tenant has sublet the property—can you evict them? Here’s the legal route explained

Landlords face a strict legal path when tenants sublet properties against lease terms. Self-help measures like changing locks are illegal and can lead to liability. Eviction requires formal proceedings through rent control authorities or civil courts, backed by solid evidence of unauthorized subletting. Tenants must obtain written consent for any subletting arrangements, as prohibited subletting is a recognized ground for eviction.
