NRI Landlord Eviction Punjab 2026: Critical High Court Ruling — What Mohali, Zirakpur & Kharar Owners Must Know Before Renting
A September 7, 2026 Punjab & Haryana High Court ruling has major implications for NRI landlords creating fresh tenancies in Punjab. The Court held that an NRI landlord could not use repealed Section 13-B of the 1949 Rent Act for a tenancy created in 2020, and the special NRI remedy under Section 24(3) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 was also unavailable because that provision is limited to premises let out on or before November 30, 2013. This PropKeyz guide explains what the judgment actually means, which eviction rights still remain, why tenancy dates matter, and what NRI owners in Mohali, Zirakpur and Kharar should document before handing over the keys.
