Cancellation of cheque

Confused Indian (Querist) 04 June 2012 This query is : Resolved
Dear Expert,

I have given a cheque to one landlord as initial advance for house deposit, on the same day I found the facility what he told were not actually present, hence I asked my banker to stop payment.

I have asked the banker to stop payment on the same day when I gave cheque to him, till date I have not taken possession nor signed any agreement.

That landlord is threatening of legal, is it possible.

Cause to issue a lawyer notice to the land lord stating that the payment of deposit by cheque is stopped immediately after its issue, since you noticed that the facility offered is not available in the property to be purchased.

Immediately issue a legal notice to the land lord advising him that as the flat or house does not have all the facilities promised by him you are withdrawing your offer to take the property on lease and hence u had stopped payment of the cheque. The LL cannot proceed against u as the cheque was not issued in discharge any obligation and if there was any, it got obliterated when u have decided to call off the deal.
