Dear Sir / Madam,

You should plead before the Judge to expedite the eviction order of the tenant from your premises. All the same, if the tenant has stopped paying you the prevailing monthly rent, you should also lodge a Police complaint of illegal trespass against the tenent, so that you can take back possession of the premises by breaking open the lock, in the presence of the Police. Publishing the issue in the newspaper is not recommended.

Regards,
