Mohali Rent Default & Eviction 2026: Schedule VII Notice, 3-Month Arrears, 2-Month Cure Period, 15% Interest, Mesne Profits & NRI Owner Guide
When a Mohali tenant stops paying rent, eviction is not simply a matter of sending one WhatsApp message and changing the locks. Where the Punjab Rent Act applies, Section 20(2)(a) creates a structured default route involving three or more consecutive months of legally recoverable arrears, a Schedule VII demand notice, two months to clear the arrears with 15% interest, and an eviction application before the Rent Authority if the default continues. This PropKeyz guide explains the notice sequence, interest, arrears recovery, mesne profits, current 2026 Mohali case law, NRI-owner risks and the records landlords should maintain from the first missed payment.
