As a owner 65 yrs of age and a senior woman citizen have deducted delayed payment charges of Rs 1000 per day as mentioned in the agreement at end of the contract term have deducted a total of Rs. 28000 for 28 days. plus further Rs 27000 in regards outstanding bills and damages and including overstaying charges of Rs. 2500 per day for 3 day and handed over only 4900 only out of the security deposit to licensee.
the licensee feel I have wrongly charged but as it is mentioned in the agreement which is notary and earlier also at start of the first year I had got it registered but during the current tenure it was notarised. now he has approached the the local corporator and then to the Mumbai police to get money from me and creating pressure to mutually agree. Please guide at the earliest whether am in my total right to deduct the amount. and how should I go ahead with it, if I am wrong also do let me know.
The owner cannot act unilaterally. The tenant can seek legal remedy. Try to settle the issue amicably.
