Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in India

Right of the tenant

U have been living in a flat in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh for the past 21 months. My landlord wants to increase the rent by 40% else tells me to vacate the flat. What are the rights I have? Can he increase the rent according to his whims else tell me to vacate? I do not have any contract with him while occupying the house. But I do pay rent regularly and transfer the money to his account. Can he evict me? Please advise.
