1. Settle amicably, since IF such false rumours go outside, you will find it really difficult to get another Tenant in future. People are always apprehensive and nervous of such rumours.
My father passed away 6m ago. My mother is next of kin. Tenent moved in on 31st April. Rental deedbsigned by Tenent in 1stmay for a period of 1yr.agreed to pay running month rent and 1month rent as deposit apart from electric and water bills. After 30days tenent says his wife is possessed by my father's ghost and citing this video they vacated the house on 1st June. We didn't ask them to leave. Looks like the lady has psychological issues(i am a medical doctor and didn't find any physical illness). They are asking for deposit to be returned. they have to give 2m notice. we did not force them to vacate .they vacated for personal reasons. My question 1,do we have to pay back deposit 2,are we right in claiming 2m rent in addition as they didn't give us notice 3)they left the house dirty while in rental deed they agreed to pay for any negligence on their side (from the deposit amount) Are we right in asking for cleaning charges 4)what if they post the video viral or come for a fight. What do I do.

It is necessary to peruse your rental agreement to advice
2) is there notice period mentioned in agreement
3) if tenant has failed to give notice you can withhold his deposit
4)don’t ask for cleaning charges
5) no need to bow down to pressure tactics
1. See you can keep the deposit as per the clause in the agreement.
2. Yes you are.right in keeping the deposit.
3. Yes they have to give possession and handover in proper condition.
4. File a police complaint in that situation against them.
Notice period is 2 months. I have deposit worth one month rent only. What options I have if they threaten to go viral with drama videos or come for fight
See you can file a police complaint or complaint with magistrate if they defame you or come to fight.
since tenant has failed to give 2 months notice you are entitled to recover 2 months rentals from him
2) no need to return the deposit
3) if he threatens to assault you file police complaint against tenant
1. It is not the question of "deposit" or drama video going viral. It is the logical thought about considering future of getting Tenant in such adverse circumstances.
2. HOWEVER, Logically and Legally, depending on the clauses of the Rent /Lease agreement, you are entitled to deduct one months rent (or deposit) for vacating without serving one months prior notice.
Hi,
The claim by tenant is false and baseless. You are suggested to have mutual discussion with him and ask him to pay for the expenses occurred in cleaning, repainting of rooms etc. After deduction of that amount you may return the deposit. Please understand that my this advice is partly legal and partly on humanitarian basis because you seems to be very humble and nice person (as per your input). If asked legally only, I would suggest to serve him a notice for paying two months rent as per rent agreement in lieu of leaving instantly. His allegation of ghost would never be considered valid.
Depends on terms of rent deed. IF two month notice is there than deposit not returnable but why you himself want to keep possessed women in your house, Get it vacated.
Well, for violation of notice clause, you can forfeit deposit.
As the tenant has not served the notice period as per the agreement, you can confiscate the security deposit amount.
You can also charge cleaning charges from them if there is any damage to your property those charges can also be levied on them.
If they come to your house in order to threaten you, file a complaint against them to the police.
You can claim one more month rent from him in lieu of the notice period after adjusting the security deposit amount.
Yes you can claim 2 months rent if they are not giving you notice. You can ask them to clean or pay cleaning charges.
1. no need to pay back
2. keep the security (1m rent) and claim another 1m rent as notice period is 2months as per stated by you
3. do not claim, however, the issue arises, you should claim
4. file a police complaint against him
if notice period mentioned in agreement then tenant has to give you prior notice. if there is no clause then you have to return deposit.
if tenant vacates without notice then no need to return the deposit. if he threatens file police complaint.
1. You may have to return the advance amount after deducting the charges for damages, if any.
2. No, it's not legally right.
3. Yes, you can charge for that.
4. Let them do it, which law approves such imaginary stories.
Let them do anything, you should not be bothered about it.
You concentrate on your case alone, if there's any.
Dear Client
