1. There is option to file civil suit for recovery of money . However considering the time and costs involved in such suit , it would not be plausible for you .

2. So lodge a complaint of cheating with Police on which basis the Police can register FIR. Once FIR is registered the owner is likely to refund your money to settle the case amicably. 

send him a legal notice through counsel claiming refund of security amount along with interest,

You can issue landlord legal notice to recover your security deposit 

2) however fees for sending notice would be more than amount sought to be recovered 

3) go and visit landlord personally to recover your money 

Give him a notice and file a criminal complaint in the police station.

Police complaint with WhatsApp record.

FIR also can be filed through online portal for easy action

Dear maam,

since you have the whatsapp chats that will be considered as a promissory note on his end and is legally enforceable. coming directly to the solution, it will be considered as a oral contract and you are entitled to get back the money. For that, you have to send a legal notice to the person concerned person demanding legal compensation and the money back.

hope that solves your query.

you can contact me for consultation. if any.

ADVOCATE  

DELHI HIGH COURT

you have to share the agreement copy between you and your landlord so that the correct legal remedy may be suggested to you. You have the option of civil court to get your money back, but prior to that I suggest you to meet some lawyer personally with the documents copy.

Dear Sir,

Simple threaten him , that you will lodge a complaint in consumer forum.....still ,if he won't give, then simply give a written complaint along with the rent agreement form in the district consumer forum... If you not having rent agreement the Whatsapp messeges is sufficient to prove that he has to given the amount to you. 

Start by sending legal notice to him asking him to repay the entire amount along with interest within 15 days of receipt of the legal notice.

If he fail to do so, you will have to file a suit for recovery against him.

Hii.

Just go and police complain. It is imp At least he will not cheat the another person after getting lesson from you.

Issue a legal notice seeking refund of your security deposit.

If the legal notice fails, report your landlord to the Police. 

You can send him a notice if on notice he fails you can file a suit to recover the amount from.the land lord.

The best option to recover the amount quickly is by lodging a criminal complaint against him for the offences of cheating with the local police.

You prepare a complaint mentioning all the facts including your efforts to contact him through phone, whatsapp and in person.

You may state that his intention was to cheat you by not giving the amount intentionally, hence action may be taken to punish him legally for cheating as well as for recovery.

Please file written complaint with the Police Station of the jurisdiction.Ask the Police to register FIR under Fraud

for recovery of money you have to  issue legal notice and then file recovery suit along with interest. 

See police may deny taking a complaint on this as it is a civil dispute.

You need to file a complaint with address and other details.

yes filing complaint before police is best 

you need his residential address 

You can give any alternate address. 

You can lodge a criminal complaint against the PG owner without mentioning his address also but you will be having his phone number, the police will call him by that hence you can proceed with your proposed complaint.

Dear

You have two options available with you 

1. One is sending a legal Notice through an Advocate which can be a bit expensive as compare to your recovery amount. 
2. Other is through police complaint against your landlord for doing fraud with you and not returning your money.

And before using any option you can send a whtsapp message to landlord that if you don't return the money you will choose legal course to recover the money this way may help you to get money without using any of the above option. 

Inform the police of the issue and tell them about the person and that he owns the house. The police shall call him up and tell him to come at the police station. Maybe the matter can be resolved by the police.

Regards 

No, will not be a problem. Mention his name,  mobile number and the PGs address.
