Tenant

(Querist) 02 January 2018 This query is : Resolved 
Hello:

My tenant is supposed to be vacating my house on February 28th 2018. He has deposited 2 months rent as security for us to recover water bill, electricity bill, and damages that has occurred during his tenancy.

He is now asking me to return the advance via post dated cheque for march, which is not in the rent agreement. He has made a mess of the house and very poor quality of maintenance. The agreement clearly states that the advance deposit balance will be returned after recovery of water, electricity and damages. He has time to give rent cheque by 7th of every month.

Please advise and guide what legal action should I take if he refuses to give the rent cheque.

Thanks
Radha

Get the rent cheque for now and tell him you will issue him cheque before he leaves.
In the mean time you can workout all dues to be recovered from him and mention the amount that you have return him after deducting dues from him.
Issue him cheque of the amount before he leaves.
As the exact amount to be recovered from him may not be clear you will have to do some guess work.
In case you're thinking of legal action now you'll be losing more than you have to recover from him.

Did you point the poor maintenance of your house? How to replace or repair the damage cause? Tell him all and ready to give the post day cheque after adjusted the fund related to the damage caused.
