Rental advance issue

Contact a local advocate and issue a legal notice to landlord with all such documentary evidence.  Explore the possibility of whether he can be dragged into the Consumer forum as you have availed service and paid consideration as rent.

Yes, serve a legal notice. That is the only viable option unless the amount involved is substantial and covered by a written agreement.

Respected experts,

I have rental agreements handy and all my payments are online.Their  voice and text mesaages recorded.

Thanks for your advice.

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for various offences like  Threatening, Cheating, Intimidation, Fraud, Breach of Trust, Mischief etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting Documents, Evidences & Witnesses.

2.  IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.  The said Person may come down for settlement.

3. You may also prefer to file a Recovery Suit in the local Civil Court, for recovery of your amount, by following due procedures of law.

Hemant Agarwal sir,

Thank you so much.

Is it also possible to file any case for selling their home without doing my settlement?

How much money is involved as advance payment of rent in the subject ? If it is in few thousands or more, proceed as advised by expert. However, if the amount involved is meager just forgive and forget.

Sale transaction of the house which was earlier rented out is valid.

Hi Respected experts,

Tbanks for your inputs.

The final settlement after deductions is 25K. They are dragging and harrassing. I dont want that money to be wasted.

If I understand correctly before selling a property the related debits/ credits has to be cleared. Please help to understand the related law properly. 

The outstanding rental advance, if any, does not run with the property but is personal against the owner of the property.
