If the landlord wants to evict you from the premises without following the due process of law, it is important to understand your legal rights and options.

Secondly, if you suspect that the landlord is using the premises for illegal purposes, you can report this to the appropriate authorities. Depending on the nature of the illegal activity, you can report this to the police or to other relevant authorities such as the municipal corporation or the local revenue department.
Thirdly, you can approach a lawyer and seek legal recourse. A lawyer can advise you on the legal options available to you, such as filing a suit for specific performance of the lease agreement, seeking a restraining order against the landlord, or seeking damages for any losses suffered due to the eviction.
In any case, it is important to document all communication and interactions with the landlord and to keep a record of all payments made. This can help you to prove your case in case of any legal dispute.
