Hi, I live in a Chs in Mumbai and for years now, the person staying below my house has been harassing my tenants. 2 families have already vacated the flat and the 3rd tenant is currently being harassed. I use my current flat rent to pay the rent for the flat I stay in and I already am on financial crisis. He doesn't want anyone staying in my flat. He uses all means of harassment including going on the terrace above my house and throwing huge weighted stones. Even if there is slightest of noise from my house, he and his family come to my flat and start abusing and threatening my tenant. Written complaint Has been given to the Secretary of my Society, however they have refused to take action saying this is a civil issue. Tenants refuse to come to police station. I want to understand if I am able to convince my current tenant to come with me to the cops, what all can I do? What can I also do legally? I am mentally vv harassed and this has started affecting my health too.. If I don't get rent, I will get in a miserable situation. The society and all its members are hopeless. I need proper guidance in this pls.

Install CCTV, record all harassment, misbehaving, throwing stones events. These would be a proof in your complaint to police / Court.

better install CCTV cams and record his conduct. The evidence so collected will help you in teaching him an appropriate lesson. for further action seek help of a local lawyer.
