1. The bank seize any proeprty of the debtor- your landlord but it has no right over the tenancy rights nor on your moveable assets.

2. SO if you move the DRT and seek release of your assets you will get relief from the Tribunal.

3.So make a petition under section 17 of the SARFAESI Act and seek injunction agaisnt your eviction by bank and release of your seized articles.

your right cannot be prejudiced if landlord defaulted. if bank has submitted any notice you should challenge it before the DRT for cancellation or stay for some time or till the finding of new rent premises, in respect of the premises occupied by you as tenant.

Send him a Legal Notice for forthwith recovery of all the dues.

In case the notice fail to help, you could report the matter to the Police.

Alternatively, you may file a summary suit for recovery under Order 37.

1. Serve a lawyer's notice initially to him to refund the security deposit and also recover your articles from the bank.

2. If he does not fulfill the demand made in the legal notice then filing a suit for recovery of money in the civil court shall be the only remedy.

You should not have vacated the house when the bankers came to seize and take possession of your rented house.

You had lost a golden opportunity and now grumbling about the owner not returning the advance amount

You first issue a legal notice against the owner and then file a money recovery suit on the basis of documentary evidences you have for the payment of advance amount.

I can do that, but how can I take my money back from house owner, because house owner is trying to cheat us. And he is waiting if I take my things out then he can escape not paying the money of mine also which I gave as advance to him.

Though your stuff are still lying in the house, under whose possession is the house now?

If it is in the bank's possession, then you break open the lock, get into the house, remain there till you get back yor advance amount.

The bank cannot take any legal action to evict you since you are the tenant and are protected by tenancy act.

You go ahead and file an FIR against the owner for cheating.
