If you have a valid agreement, signed by both parties, your landlord cannot do this. I would however, need to look at the agreement to see what is the notice period under the agreement. He may be entitled to ask you to move, however, in such a case, we would need to give you notice. If you want to enter into litigation, you would the option of approaching the courts under the rent control laws or under contract and specific relief laws (with respect to a breach of contract). Having said, I would need to look at your agreement before explaining your options.

This is the matter of nuisance and violation of agreement . You can go for the suit for permanent injunction through which you will get the stay on the property and therefore the landlord will not be able to vacate the premises and for the harassment done by the landlord you can file a complainant under section 425 of IPC through court and even to the concerned police station.

hello. First of all you have to see whether the terms and conditions mentioned in the 11 month rent agreement are very clear about the amount of rent to be paid and no escalation whatsoever has been mentioned thereof. Secondly, dont communicate with the landlord on telephone infact write a letter to him/her stating all the facts and whatever I happening in detail and to stop harassing you. Don't miss out on anything and if you want we can help you in that also.
Thereafter, if the landlord still continues to harass you, you can file a complaint in the concerned police station alongwith the copy of this letter and the {Police authorities shall take action accordingly.
