Eviction on Grounds of Subletting - Multiple sources confirm that unauthorized subletting is a primary ground for eviction under various tenancy laws, including the East Punjab Urban Restriction Act, 1949, Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950, and others. Courts generally uphold eviction if subletting occurs without landlord’s prior written consent, as it impairs the landlord's rights and the utility of the premises Mahant Sarowar Nath VS Amar Nath Pardesi - Punjab and Haryana, Saremal Ratanchand VS Juhar Mal Bhabutmal - Rajasthan, N.

Legal Provisions and Procedural Requirements - Eviction proceedings based on subletting require strict adherence to procedural norms.
