My husband and I built a separate apartment on the third floor of our in-laws’ house, paying for all the construction costs. We’ve been living there and paying rent since the beginning. Now, they are demanding we move out and threatening to cut our electricity and water supply, leaving us with no way to stay. What should we do?
