No return of advance paid. Absence of agreemnt
2 weeks ago
I paid advance rent and commission to a middle man (start up) who paid it to the owner. Changed my mind because of certain reasons. Now the middle man is blaming the owner for not returning the rent and is not returning the commission either. How can I get back the amount I paid? There was no agreement signed either. It has been 2 weeks.
A.Dear Client,
In the absence of any written MOU or agreement between the parties, no remedy of relief is feasible on the face of the record even on complaints to police or through litigation before the court. However, you can serve a legal notice to the owner which may work or may not work.

A.Dear Client,
Many landlords in India follow the system of no return off advance system. Please check the terms and conditions of the contract. if the same is not mentioned and there is no restriction then you can proceed to send legal notice through and advocate to both broker and landlord.If they still do not refund your money, you can file a complaint with the consumer forum or the civil court, seeking your money back along with interest and damages. You will need to submit proof of payment, such as bank statements, cheque details, receipts, etc., along with your complaint. You may also need to hire a lawyer to represent you in the court.
Alternatively, you can also approach the police and file an FIR against the broker and the owner for cheating and breach of trust. You can also seek their help in recovering your money from them.
