Safeguard available to tenants

Dear all I had a query Nowadays in most cases the landlord does only 11 months agreement with a tenant. Suppose, Mr.A takes a commercial space on rent with an usual 11 months agreement and makes a showroom say KFC, investing Rs. 1 crore on interiors etc. Now if after 11 months at the time of renewal, the landlord says to Mr.A Case1: either to doube the rental citing increase in market rate or vacant the space. OR Case2: the landlord needs the space for his personal use and so Mr.A will have to vacant the space on 3 months notice. In such cases what safeguards does a tenant has. Please explain. As I am thinking to take a commercial space on rent.

Yes there are solutions but property matters legal expanes are heavy. If you can afford than landlord can not evacuate you nor unreasonable rent can be increased.

Sir what u suggested is not a solution, as this is what one will have to do in case dispute arise. I was asking about solution that one should follow while taking a property on rent. Something that big retail chains like big bazar and others must be following. So that chances of such dispute arising is minimal.
