Money paid to tenant to vacate : money paid by owner to get renter out (khlow)‎

Fatawa Question

Dear Sir, al Salam Alikom Wa Rahmato Allah Wa Barakatoh, I am asking about : I am living in a rented house since 1965, (35 years) and the owner of the house dead and her sons live in Egypt, they recently come to ask for their house (according to Jordanian law which is applied in Palestinian territories, the tenant cannot be forced to leave the rented house) And I have a house under construction, still in structural shape, and I am in need to complete this house, and in consideration of the economic and political situation we r living in Palestine I cannot complete my new house, so I am asking If it is acceptable in Islam to take what is called in Arabic Khlow and in Palestine we call it ( Khlow Rejel) (money given to the tenant to leave the rented house) I am not taking this money because I am greedy, but if the owner dismissed me I will be homeless, so I want money to complete my under-construction home. Please tell me if this is acceptable or not and if not, what is the solution. Thank you so much
