I stay in a rented house in hyderabad.My landlord stays in ground floor and his daughter in first floor and we stay on the second floor.his daughter is harrassing us a lot by stating that they are lot of sounds coming from our house in the midnight wherein we sleep by 9 pm as i have 2 small kids at home.They do not give our electricity bill neither do we know where the electric meter is. They are collecting 500rs towards water and almost half a month no water comes.Now they even locked the common terrace and not letting us dry clothes. On top of that they are switching of the power as we do not know where the meter is and their son in law is threatening that he is from a big caste and that no one can do anything to him. My husband works in a different place and i stay with my 2 kids.Could anyone help me as to how can i proceed to stop these illegal acts of the landlords.The previous tenants also complained the same

You are a tenant, you have the option to shift to another residence to have mental peace, cooperation and better place.
If you do not want, there are possibility to start cases / police complaints from both sides and it would be difficult to handle / manage these. You are having small kids and your husband is living outside.
You have option to move to police for their act of closing water supply / electricity / threats by landlord / his relative.
