Old Agreement status if new agreement is signed


11-Aug-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I am staying in a rented house from last One year Four months. Initially the agreement was made for 11 months. Recently the Owner has raised the rent amount more than 15% percent and made me to sign the new agreement forcefully where he has mentioned that I am staying in the residence from last month in the new agreement. Now after signing the agreement, he is forcing me to vacate house as he would get one month extra rent if I vacate it now as per agreement Does it mean older agreement is void if New agreement is signed?(I have old agreement with me)

yes, once the new agreement has been made the old agreement is void and has no validity in the court of law. your Landlord cannot forcefully until and unless he gives you a notice period. does the agreement has a clause of notice period while vacating. kindly go through the agreement and check. at first instance you should never have signed it.
