Under the Delhi Rent Control Act, a tenant who stays after the expiry of the rent agreement can still be evicted if the landlord provides proper notice and follows legal procedures. The landlord should file an eviction suit if the tenant refuses to vacate. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to handle potential complications arising from the expired agreement.
