In this case please execute a written agreement with the landlord and obtain the consideration as mentioned in yor query.

As regard to your fear of landlord bouncing the cheque is concernerd, you are well protected by section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act provided the agreement is executed.

Further, in respect of the eviction threat given by the landlord is concerned it appears that landlord will not have any grounds of evicting you.
