Rental disputes occur between landlords and tenants. In earlier times, such disputes were often resolved through a third-party mediator, where an impartial person would hear both the landlord and tenant and then suggest a fair resolution.
Rental disputes are usually resolved informally between the landlord and tenant. However, in cases where issues persist, legal assistance may be required for proper resolution.

A written rental agreement should always exist between the landlord and tenant, as it protects the rights and obligations of both parties. When the terms and conditions of the agreement are not properly followed, rental disputes may arise. In Pakistan, rental disputes are quite common and can become a complex and time-consuming process.
A landlord may issue an eviction notice to a tenant for several reasons, including:
Non-payment of rent for a specified period
Damage caused to the rented property
Expiry of the tenancy period
Violation of the tenancy agreement
Use of the property for purposes other than those agreed upon
In Pakistan, each province has its own tenancy laws and regulations governing the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. Therefore, it is important for both parties to be aware of the applicable legal framework before entering into any rental agreement.
The eviction notice should include the following essential details:
The effective date of the eviction notice, which is usually the date of issuance. Therefore, the notice must clearly mention the date.
A clear and specific reason for the eviction must also be stated in the notice.
All required documents along with the prescribed court fee must be submitted to the court in order to schedule a hearing and have a notice issued to the tenant.
Before the hearing, it is important to prepare all relevant documentation, including a copy of the eviction notice, a copy of the rental agreement, bank statements or payment records, and any other supporting evidence required for the case.
When the court decides in favor of the landlord, the tenant is issued a notice by the competent authority to vacate the rented property within the prescribed time period. If the tenant fails to vacate the premises within the given time, the landlord may seek enforcement through the relevant legal process, including assistance from the authorities where applicable.
