Please advise and suggest.
If the landlord without giving an appropriate notice which is mentioned in the rent agreement, coerces the tenant to leave the premise then the tenant has right to go to the court and can file a civil suit and seeks the order for the injunction.
If the landlord will evict any tenant on any other ground which is not mentioned in the Act then in that case, the tenant has the right to take the aid of the law to prevent the said eviction. If in case the landlord evicts a tenant and sends notice of eviction on the false ground then the tenant has right to take legal action as per prescribed in the Rent Control Act. For this, the tenants have to go to the Rent Controller and give the brief of the eviction notice sent by the landlord. Then after that, the court proceedings will begin. The tenant has to be present with a reason in support of the requisite evidence to prove the false ground when the court summons the tenant.
