Rent vs Security Deposit
5 years ago
The rental contract is registered at Mehrauli for a property in South Delhi.
The tenant stopped paying rent adjusting it against Security deposit.
Vacates property without proper handing/taking over, leaving property with considerable damages, defficiencies and unpaid water,IGL,and electricity bills etc.
Can any legal action be taken against tenant:
1. For non payment of Rent and recovery thereof with penalty? And How?
2. Or it shall simply be to recover damages/defficiencies etc.
Early advice shall be appreciated.

A.Liability of the tenant to pay rent does not end after vacating the premesis.Similarly damages can be sought for causing damage to the property. Subject to the condition that u know his current address.otherwise entire exercise will be a waste of time and money
