Legal advice on illegal demand of landlord

3 years ago

We are a Company and tenant of Mr. Raghav in Muzaffarnagar
We wants to vacate the property of Raghav
Raghav in lieu of security amount i.e. Rs.5, 50,000 demanding Rs.2, 00,000 (Illegally without any bills) as an
electricity amount. Raghav in lieu of security amount i.e. Rs.5, 50,000 agreed to pay Rs.2, 00,000.
After paying Rs.2, 00,000, he transferred 50% of Rs.5, 50,000 and promised to return balance 50%
within 48 hours. However, after 48 hours he demanded Rs. 2, 00,000 on grounds of brokerage and
registration fee paid at the time of registering the property plus another month of electricity of
Rs.15,000 , whitewash expenses Rs.50,000 totaling to Rs.1,75,000.
Points to be noted:
1) We suffered the same expenses at the time of brokerage and registration and the reason to
shift the property after 1 year of lock in was because of landlord illegal demand of electricity bill
verbally.
2) Also he is harassing us verbally to pay him rent as 50% in cheque and 50% in cash to save the
Income tax whereas we denied paying in cash. However, he said he was getting the same 50%
cash and 50% cheque from other tenants as well.
3) Landlord did illegal construction on terrace (Tin shade) and all the electricity consumption was put
on us. Please advise legally what to do
