icon Dispute b/w Tenant & Landlord on Security Deposit & Repairs

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.
If he is not paying you the security deposit in few days then send him a legal notice to recover that.
yes what he is asking you is unfair unless it was mentioned in the rent agreement.

A. The absence of the rental agreement complicates the matter but if rent has been paid by the person for the relevant time period, the record of the same can be used to legitimize his case. Thanks.

icon description while purchasing leave and license agreement stamp of 100

there is no option of leave and license in categories mentioned in delhi online portal can i opt for genral agreement and mention in description l & license


A. Hi,
A leave and license are different from a rental or lease agreement. It is governed by the Indian Easement Act, 1882. According to this, in case of leave and lease, the owner leaves the place with various facilities and gives the same to the licensee for use while the owner is on a leave for a specific period of time. Please contact for further advice.

icon RESIGNED FROM DIRECTOR POST

My question i resigned my post of director 1.6 years back in home due to medical condition but the tenant has filed the caseon me on RLTOP how to i convenience them i resigned long back i am the owner


A. Hi,
The fact that you are a director of a corporation has no bearing on the landlord-tenant relationship. Furthermore, in the RLTOP case, it is critical to know what allegations have been levelled against you. You are not liable for the firm's compensation if the company you were connected with was a partnership and you had already given up on it.
Thank you very much.

A. If the security is not paid by owner then you have to get issued legal notice demanding refund of security amount and if owner does not comply with the notice and donot refund security then you shall have to file suit for recovery in court. As such no case of 420 us made out.
