Hi, You can't ask dealer Commission from the Landlord but surely you can take reasonable time from the landlord and vacate the house.

1. The property dealers are intermediaries who arrange an accommodation and they take money for their services. No law makes the property dealer liable for the omissions and commissions of the landlord. So you have no legal right to claim the money which you had paid to the property dealer.

2. If the landlord has not honoured the rent agreement then issue him a lawyer's notice and demand back the security deposit.

3. No FIR can be filed in your case/

If you have entered into a valid agreement and the landlord's action violate the condition, you may issue a notice to him to curb his undesirable activities failing which he will be liable for legal actions that may follow consequent upon not complying to the conditions of the agreement.

The legal notice should contain the words that the fault is on the side of landlord alone, which would certainly instill a fear in him and he may refrain from indulging into such undesirable activities. You can issue the legal notice yourself too.

First go through the agreement and the conditions therein properly and make sure the points which have been violated by the landlord including interfering with your peaceful possession and enjoyment of the property during tenancy
