Theright to be saved from eviction that is unwarranted and unreasonable is the most important right available to a tenant. Each State Rent Control Act has specific grounds based on which a landlord can evict a tenant. Eviction of a tenant on any ground other than the ones mentioned in the State Acts is not considered to be sufficient for eviction. Further, the said State Acts also give the tenant the right to protection in a case where the landlord forcefully evict the tenant for a reason not specified in the Act.





ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHT AGAINST EVICTION:

In a situation where the landlord tries to forcibly remove the tenant from the premises without serving an eviction notice, the tenant is entitled to file a case in the civil court and seek and order of injunction. An ORDER OF INJUNCTION stops the landlord from removing the tenant out of the premises without any ground mentioned in the relevant State Rent Control Act.

Also, in your case as the landlord threw your belongings out of your house then you can lodge a FIR in the nearest police station for criminal trespass under section 441 of Indian Penal Code.
