Each state has different tenancy laws; which state are you from? Generally, under tenancy laws, you may not be evicted without specified grounds under the relevant act.

However, you can, of course, file a case against the landlord. If you have rent receipts with you, the rent agreement may not be required.

Hello,

Thank you for your query.

It appears from your post that you had a 5 year rent agreement with the Landlord. And out of which 2 years are still pending. The Landlord cannot get the premises vacated on the basis of a notice or by force. The landlord will have to file a case before the court of competent jurisdiction and after getting an order from the court only, the premises may be vacated. You will get an opportunity to defend yourself before the Court.

The Landlord will have to prove that either you defaulted in payment of rent or the Landlord needs the premises for himself. So make sure that you never default in payment of rent. In case the landlord is not accepting the rent, get the same deposited in his bank and keep a receipt. Even during the pendency of the case, never default in payment of rent.

Rest will depend on the trial. Do let me know in case you require any further assistance.

The landlord shall have to file a case for recovering the possession of the tenanted property on the round of his need. He cannot just throw you out. As and when he files a case against you the court will give you sufficient opportunity to engage your lawyer and contest his case. If you fear being thrown out of the property by extra judicial means then as a pre-emptive measure you may seek injunction against him from the court.
