Forcing an employee to vacate company accommodation without paying the dues

Dear Sir/Madam,

I worked at a hotel and resigned with a 30-day notice period. My last day of work was July 18th. They were holding my passport, and I requested it back.

Initially, they refused, but they gave it to me today along with my cancellation letter. However, they still haven't paid my pending salary and gratuity.

Since I asked for my passport, they are now forcing me to vacate the company accommodation.

I have nowhere to go because they haven't paid my pending settlement and I don't have the money to rent a new place. Can you please help me?

How long, at maximum, can I use the company accommodation?

Can they force me to leave without settling my last pay?
