15 June 2013 The reason for the entitlement of eviction money lies in the tenancy rights. If the tenant has not got any such right, the land lord could have thrown him away either himself or by/through court or police.
.
No body pays for Free.
.
Treat the entire money as Capital Gains. Decide whether it's long term or short term on the basis of his tenancy term.
