File a case against him in the police for criminal breach of trust, cheating and criminal intimidation

Also you can file a civil suit for recovery of the lease amount

But I will prefer that you file a case with the police first.

first register a police complaint stating that the landlord has cheated on you by having your money and not returning back .

if he is in the same town automatically the landlord address will be known after the investigation. after knowing the address send him a legal notice :) thanks )

1) file summary suit against landlord to recover your security deposit

2) also file Police complaint against landlord for cheating, criminal breach of trust under section 406 , 420 of IPC

The landlord is bound to return the security deposit either immediately or within reasonable time of vacating the property.

Since in this case the landlord is refusing to refund the same you can lodge complaint with the police for criminal breach of trust.

Firstly, try to give him a notice on message or wats app or through mail as now it can be accepted as a valid receiving from his side.

Secondly, file a suit for recovery under summary suit for expedious relief.

Thirdly and lastly, also claim for litigation expense as well as for mental harassment.

Good Luck...!

This act of landlord is illegal and according to the terms of contract, he is bound to return rent of remaining months. According to order 5 of the code of civil procedure if notice is returned back it is deemed to be served. Technically notice has served upon him and in this condition you have to file recovery suit against him. File a suit before the small causes Court for recovery of remaining rents and Temporary injunction against the landlord. In this scenario the court may pass temporary injunction and prevent the landlord to rent out the said premises to any other tenant.

Hi, you can file as civil suit for recovery and can obtain a ex-parte order .. also take the help of local police

Only option is lodge a complaint to the police, without knowledge of proper address no case would lie.

1. The ideal step before leaving the premises is to stop paying the monthly rent and get the same adjusted with the advance amount paid to the land lord.

2. You should now lodge a police complaint against the said land lord for cheating you and if police does not tgake any action then file an application under section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. praying for a direction upon the police to investigate and act duly registering a FIR based on your said complaint.

3. Being pressured legally as stated above, he is expected to return you the advance amount you had paid to the land lord.

1. The only way to recovery money from him is to make a police complaint u/s 420,422,405,172 of IPC.

2. Let the police trace him through mobile signals and make an investigation.

If police refuse your complaint then get back to me to approach court to get the order to file FIR.

file suit for recovery of money based on the facts mentioned by you herein.

the last known address is enough to file case for recovery.

Dear Client,

By what note, notice returned. Well, notice sent by registered AD, to last known address amounts to valid compliance of notice.

Law very clear in this.

File suit for recovery,

1) owner is not justified in seeking refusal to return the security deposit amount till he finds another tenant

2) you are entitled to return of your money with interest as per your agreement

3) take legal proceedings as advised herein above

You should file a money recovery suit against the landlord for recovering the lease advance amount from him.

He may not have responded to your notice, but he cannot avoid court summons, if he is set exparte, then you can execute the decree as per law for recovery.

Sending the notivce by ewhatsdapp will not be very effective.

You should send a legal demand notice either by yourself or through a lawyer.

If this lawyer demands exorbitant amount, you may choose another lawyer

There is no dearth for good lawyers

If the landlord refuses to accept the legal notice at his home address, you may send a copy to his school address too.

After that you may file a recovery suit and send summons through court,. if he is set exparte then you can easily recover the same through his salary attachment

It is incorrect that you hold the key and claim to have vacated the premises, it is as good as you are still continuing the tenancy.

1. How much is the amount which the land lord shall have to pay you?

2. May be that the balance amount does not justify your filing a civil suit against him since the legal expenses might over weigh the outstanding amount.

3. That is the reason, you were advised to lodge a police complaint bringing criminal charge against him like cheating and in that case, the case will be fought by and between the land lord and the State.

4. Never mention anywhere that you have not returned the keys of the house since in that case it will be established that you are still retaining the house for which you are supposed to pay the rent/lease fees.

It is his headache not yours, you are justified at your end.

And yes it would take sometime but not one year as he has accepted the fact of disputed amount, and it would not cost you more than 20K.

He is not justified in saying so.

Send him a legal notice through an Advocate and also report the same to the police.

The police might call him and ask him to return the amount.

Regards
