Hi, I shifted out 10 days ago from a flat in Gurgaon that I rented for three and a half years. While moving out, I discussed with the landlord's agent on a few minor things which required repair & acc


A. You need to be careful with this situation as mostly the landlords do not repay the security deposit and also in your case he is asking for painting and polishing the floor, which is too much.

yes what he is asking you is unfair unless it was mentioned in the rent agreement.

A. Hi,
If you can prove that the said complaints are false and were fabricated to frame you, you can file a petition to quash the FIR. FIR quashing is the petition filed before High Court for quashing the FIR and all related proceedings against the accused. An FIR can be quashed by the High Court if the Court is satisfied that the accused is falsely implicated and FIR is bogus and frivolous.

You can approach the court for partition. The right to a share in an ancestral property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where legacy opens upon the death of the owner. You can approach a lawyer to file the partition suit.
