The land lord can vacate the tenant from his premises according to  provisions  of Tamilnadu ( Lease and Rent COntrol ) Act which runs as follows:-

 A landlord who seeks to evict his tenant shall apply to the Controller for a direction in that behalf. If the Controller, after giving the tenant a reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the application, is satisfied-

1.The tenant has not paid or tendered the rent due by him in respect of the building, within fifteen days after the expiry of the time fixed in the agreement of tenancy with his landlord or in the absence of any such agreement, by the last day of the month next following that for which the rent is payable, or

2.The tenant has without the written consent of the landlord-

(a) transferred his right under the lease or sub-let the entire building or any portion thereof if the lease does not confer on him any right do do so, or

(b) used the building for a purpose other than that for which it was leased, or

3. The tenant has committed or caused to be committed such acts of waste as are likely to impair materially the value of utility of the building, or

4.The tenant has been convicted under any law for the time being in force of an offence of using the building or allowing the building to be used for immoral or illegal purposes, or

5.The tenant has been guilty of such acts and conduct which are a nuisance to the occupiers of other portions in the same building or of buildings in the neighborhood, or

6.  where the building is situated in a place other than a hill-station, the tenant has ceased to occupy the building for a continuos period of four months without reasonable cause, or

7.The tenant has denied the title of the landlord or claimed a right of permanent tenancy and that such denial or claim was not bona fide, the Controller shall make an order directing the tenant to put the land lord in possession of the building and if the Controller is not so satisfied, he shall make an order rejecting the application:

In any case falling under above provisions if the Controller is satisfied that the tenant's default to pay or tender rent was not wilful, he may, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 11, give the tenant a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen days, to pay or tender the rent due by him to the landlord upto the date of such payment or tender and on such payment or tender, the application shall be rejected.
