Misbehaviour by the landlord

(Querist) 01 October 2014 This query is : Resolved 
After shifting to my rented house I observed that the landlord had been using my electrical line for lighting his staircase, frontdoor light and pump. After objection the behaviour of the son-in-law of the landlady, who is actually calling all the shots, completely changed. For using the water connection we have to depend on them and sometimes they intentionally changed the control of flow in such a way that we received no water. The outlet of their toilet in the first floor has been leaking for quite sometime making a mess in our part. One day they completely isolated our flat in such a way that it would be impossible for us to adjust the control of flow of water. After severe protest on our part it has been changed partially. What should we do in such a situation? ?

do you have a thana in your area

You are a tenant and for you mental peace is first priority. Shift to another accommodation. It would help in finishing the dispute for ever.

If you do not want to shift and no amicable solution is possible lodge police complaint.

the deeds are of son in law the FIR will be against old landlady and son in law.

Good advise by Sudhir Kumar sir. But I thinkg they wont understand what is Thana means. Police Station will be much better.

Yes, we have a "thana" or police station nearby. Can we get an injunction against eviction ? Though we had an agreement for two years, it has expired. No rent receipts were issued from the begining.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 05 October 2014
It means you are overstaying despite expiry of tenancy agreement and refuse to vacate the house and have resorted to threaten the landlady if asked to vacate? I think, if this is fact, you donot deserve any reply.

As our flat is about to be finished we had asked our landlord to allow us extension of tenancy till the completion of our flat (which is beyond our control). The landlady is a very polite and soft person who does not want us to move. But the son-in-law and the daughter want our removal because they can get something from the new tenant. As per our discussion with them we have increased the initial rent by 10% and asked them quite 'politely' to allow us to stay for some more time. After that they have turned aggressive, but not the mother. Is it a crime to ask some time before moving to other place ? I can not understand the comments of Mr. Kalasevam in which he mentioned about threatening the landlady.

Send your rents in future by Registered Post by way of cheque stating the fact it had been increased by 10% as required by house owner by covering letter.Waite for their Response and Up Date.

thana does not give any injunction. They register case against dis connection of water supply nd theft of you power line.

Unless dequeue is agreed mode of rent payment use of Money Order facility is best course.
However, if rent is being accepted and receipt is being issued,there is no need of such exercise.
Who behaves how and who tackles how are personality dependent things and needs no legal address.
Anyway they can not evict you without filing a law suit of eviction.
