File Police complaint of cheating , criminal breach of trust against landlord under section 406 , 420 of IPC
2) also file summary suit to recover your dues
Landlord dispute
While vacating the rented apartment, my landlord told me that he doesn’t have the money to return my deposit (80k) and will pay me in 2-3 months. I also suggested that he deduct the rent from my deposit for last month to which he said he doesn’t have money to pay for EMI, but will pay my deposit once new tenants move in.... Last month he told he ll transfer later. And now 3 months are over and he is not picking up phone or replying. I have the contract. The bank statement of transferring the deposit and also the rent that I transferred till last month. Should I go to the police to file cheating case?

Your landlord seems to have cheated you.
Since money withhold by landlord is not much civil suit for recovery of money is a good option.
Rather lodge complaint with police for cheating. If FIR is registered you can soon get your money rushed to your pocket.
Yes, you can go to the police station also and file complain of cheating.
But, before that I suggest you to drop him a legal notice specifying all the details, and also the action which you would be taking if he denies for paying back of your money.
If he still does not do the same then file a complain against him.
Send a Legal Notice for forthwith recovery of your security deposit.
File a money suit for recovery incase the landlord fails to abide by the Legal Notice.
Ya, file a case in the local PS immediately.
Good Luck / All the Best
File a summary suit for recovery of damages and simultaneously file a complaint with police for criminal breach of trust etc, if police refuses to lodge an FIR then file a case before the magistrate u/s 156(3) of Cr.P.C.

Dear Client,
In the aforesaid issue no criminal liability made out, only recovery.
Hi, first issue him a legal demand notice through a lawyer to refund the amount with interest within 15 days .. If he do not comply with notice you can file recovery suit in court ..
Once you move outside, it will be very difficult to collect the deposit amount. Instead of that stay in the same portion untill you get the deposit. It will not amount of cheating. It is a civil case. While staying in the same portion, you file consumer case against the owner for recovery of amount with damages, legal expenses, interest amount etc.
Hi
First you issue notice for refund of your deposit money, it should be in line with the terms and conditions of your Contract. Based on his response you may initiate appropriate proceedings.
Good Luck
you can file cheating case very well.
you can file a civil suit also for refund of money including intrest and also some of the amount for your mental egony
The police will not interfere in this civil matter, you have to issue a legal demand notice and then drag him to the civil court for recovery.
Dont get misguided by the words of some greedy people to attempt any other step in this regard becasue you may have to shell out more money than what could be actually involved.
