Hello,
We had let out our house first floor to MrX for a period of 10 months (July 2013 - Apr2014). We wanted to rent it for Rs 12000, but since the tenant requested we accepted of getting Rs 10000 as rent for the first six months and then onwards Rs 12000.In the agreement we had stated only about the Advance and nothing about the rent. Six months went by. We asked the tenant to give 12000 as agreed after six month but he declined it and said he will give only 10000. So we asked him to vacate the house. he asked us time. we gave three months time ( Feb to Apr 2014). May 1 he came with the rent and we asked him when he will vacate as his three months time has ended. Without any proper reply he left and next day he has filled a case against us saying the below given lies:
1) he came with a rent of Rs 7500. After six months we increased the rent to Rs 10000. then after three months again we had increased the rent to Rs 20000. this amount is very high and he cannot give this amount.
2) we are threatening him using political powers.
Please suggest me how to go ahead with this... My family is a very kind family and have not troubled any tenants till now. tenant is creating unwanted issues in the house. My parents are above 60 years and they stay alone.
