Text as published by India Code for the Government of Maharashtra, as on 7 March 2025; its footnotes record later changes to other Acts it cites, the latest being Mah. 24 of 2012.

A Maharashtra Rent Control (Amendment) Bill, 2025 (L. A. Bill No. LXXXII of 2025) was introduced in 2025; as of October 2026 no official record shows it passed or published as an Act, so it is not reflected in this text.

If any person refuses or fails to comply with the order of eviction made under section 43 within thirty days of the date on which it has become final, the Competent Authority or any other officer duly authorised by the Competent Authority in this behalf, may evict that person from, and take possession of, the premises and deliver the same to the landlord and for that purpose, use such force as may be necessary.
