Does the rent agreement mandate a one month notice period either way? If the answer is yes then the landlord can execute the clause. However, you cannot be evicted without court orders even after the expiry of one month. If you apprehend that you may be forcibly evicted from the property then immediately file a suit for injunction.

The house owner cannot ask you to vacate the house by force.

He has to follow due process of law.He first has to issue legal notice citing reasons for instructing you to vacate the house and after that he can approach court seeking its order for evicting you.

This is a long and cumbersome process but he cannot take law in his hand.

If he is arrogant and atrocious you may prefer a complaint with the police or the judicial magistrate court with a petition seeking protection against the illegal acts of the house owner.

1. You can not be evicted by your landlord without due process of law,

2. He has to file an eviction suit against you which will take ages to be decided by the Court,

3. Lodge a police complaint immediately if your landlord gives you any verbal treat to get you evicted by applying force or assaults you.
