Harassment by landlord

Praveen Kumar (Querist) 09 November 2021 This query is : Resolved
Respected experts,My landlord is harassing me . Few days ago when I was going to my native place he took the key to my flat & when I returned back I found my room was in very bad condition . He did some fabrication work because there was some leakage right below my flat. Now the landlord is forcing me to pay repair costs & put blame on me that I had used the toilet cleaner & due to the toilet cleaner his drainage pipes got damaged which was not correct. I had taken his flat in Dec,2020 & on 1st jan,21 my father was expired and my family mostly living in my native place
Landlord is also charging excess electricity charges INR.5.5 per unit but the government rate after the exempted unit is INR 5/- when I asked him for excess electricity charges he forced me to leave his room or pay what he is charging . Please guide me. What can I do against my landlord?

What are the terms and conditions when you took the flat? If there are any such conditions and terms then you can file a case against him. But by wasting time and money it is better to shift to some other place in an amicable way.

Respected Sir, Thanks a lot for you valuable reply. Sir, there is no written agreement between us all terms are verbal. My landlord is not good person its his habit to made allegations on his tenants & ask for money. He entered my home at my back and i allowed so showing good gesture of cooperation but he created mess in my flat. He always compels his tenants to vacate his premises by leveling false allegations. He is charging excess amount for electricity & i have proof in writing on whats app chat. I want to teach him lesson . Please guide me .

Then give a police complaint.

It is not worth fighting over small issues. The best option is to search for a better accommodation.

Hello,

Yes, you have to find some other place. You should have a valid leave and licence agreement without which no one will help.

In the absence of written agreement nothing can be presumed and advised.
