Now after 20 yr landlord is asking me to increase the rent. or he is sending us notice through advocate that we have to pay high rent or we have to vacant the home within 2 months.

the things will either be governed by the Local rent laws or the Agreement between you two.

better to settle the matter with LL otherwise, he may proceed legally against you.

You do not have rights on the landlord property. You better to handover after receipt of the notice, though you are paying rent on time. The property is belongs to landlord. There is no way.

The possession of tenant is protected as long as he pays the rent,he landlord does not accept the rent send by MO and keep the record of returned MO's.

The tenant can not be forced to vacate without a proper court order.

Rent can not be increased.

You can deposit the rent in court but that take help of a experienced advocate.

The status of a tenant on expiry of lease is that of a Statutory tenant. If the tenancy is protected under the local Rent Control Laws, the Landlord can not increase the rent on his own. He has to follow the procedure under Rent Control Act. Grounds of eviction also will apply as per local state act. However, if the tenancy is outside the purview of Rent Control Act, then provisions of Transfer of Property Act would apply. In this case the tenmanacy month to month after expiry of lease and landlord has a right to serve a notice under section 106 of TPA to get the property vacated. Courts will generally favour landlords in case the lease has expired by efflux of time.

You may seek legal advice from an Advocate in your area.

Regs.
