Facing the fear of eviction, what to do?

Q: Sir, I am residing in a 2BHK flat since 1999. I have already spent more than 11 years in this apartment along with my neighbors. I have always paid my monthly rentals in time. The builder wants to smash our apartment completely and build a commercial building in this very place. Few days back our landlord asked all his tenants to leave this apartment within 5 months. Its been so long I am residing here and I don't want to leave my flat. What shall I do, give me a proper suggestion.

As I can understand your case, I would suggest you to get the help of a lawyer as soon as possible. For the time being there's no need to panic because your landlord has not sent you any written order. Before he does so, know all the tenancy rights from your lawyer and gather all documents that proves your 11 years tenancy.
