Hi All,
I'm living in Dwarka (New Delhi) on rent in a 3 bedroom apartment paying 15500/month. I shifted to this house in March 2012. There are three blocks to this society apartment. When I shifted there was some minor looking construction work was being done in another block. I asked property dealer about it and he said that it's nothing and it'll be over in few days. Two months after I shifted here, they started the construction work in my block as well. When I asked other society members about it, I came to know that the building is in very bad shape and it's being repaired. It'll take 2 years.
Since labor work all day long to break different parts of building and remaking it, Due to too much noise, no one in my family can rest.
Last month, they rammed down the balcony of my room to make it again and ever since they’re practically working in my balcony making it impossible to live here.
I told my landlord that I want to vacate this house by giving one month notice as agreed in the agreement. But he said if I leave before 11 months, I’ll need to pay 10000 extra as he'll have to do the whitewash again.
Just three days back, the person living in the apartment below mine (I’m on 2nd floor) called me and told me that the bathrooms and one of the bedrooms of my apartment are in very bad condition. When i went to his house, I saw that there is water dropping from ceiling of bathrooms and one room. Plaster of bathrooms was also removed to an extent that I was able to see iron rods of the base of my bathroom.
He told me that a notice was sent out to all landlords AN YEAR BACK, for the repair of bathrooms as they are in bad condition. I contacted management and took a copy of that notice, it was sent in September 2011. This means he deliberately gave me a defective house. When I called him about the same, he said we’ll see if it can be repaired… and you’ll have to manage with one bathroom till then.
Please confirm if I can do anything against this guy legally.
