Dear Questioner,

Thank you for contacting me.

In the tenancy contract, if any penalty is mentioned upon violation of the terms, that penalty is to be paid by the tenant.

In the event of non-payment from the side of the tenant, you can make the payment and claim it legally even if the tenancy is expired.

Please feel free to contact if you need any further clarifications.

Regards,

Anitha Rajeev.
