USo i finalized a small 1 room set in panipat haryana and the owner demanded security deposit of 1 month on the spot of 10k to finalize it.. didn’t seem like a fraud guy and since he was agreeing to make rent agreement in the next week i thought what could go wrong..now before moving in, he is placing restrictions on who can visit you (no girls i had agreed to but he says no friend even for a minute will be allowed) which are impractical and when i said cancel the deal and give me money back says you are the one backing out u won’t get any money..i have all the call recordings with him and all voice recordings of me meeting him and seeing the property…
What to do?
-
EHe’s changing the rules after taking your money. That’s not fair. Since you have recordings, tell him firmly you’ll take legal action if he doesn’t return the deposit. If he still refuses? File a police complaint or take it to the consumer court. Most landlords back off when they realize you’re serious.

UI did have a very hot talk with him warning of all actions..not budging..now I’m thinking how to proceed..if i file a police complaint i don’t think the police will do anything or am i wrong?
And is it consumer court matter or civil court or criminal court? I thought consumer court applies only when we buy something.. -

RSeriously, these people make everyone’s life difficult. They just wait for the opportunity to rip the person. I wish if there was a third party lock-in wallet to put the money as deal-in-progress until committed. if anything goes wrong the party can claim it back without the fear of falling to idiots.

RPaying without signing an agreement was a mistake. Non the less, police filing and hiring a lawyer will cost you more than recovering that deposit. Consider that amount lost. Move on and don’t make mistakes like these again.

UEven if rent agreement would have been made and then at the time moving out if he would have done this, what could i do? The situation is the same right now because i didn’t pay in cash i paid via upi
-
RIf you had a rent agreement you had a valid contract. How do people not understand that. Right now you have just given him money on trust and he has broken that trust. What are the lawyers and police going to do about that. There is no paper trail of the amount but that UPI transaction. How are u gonna prove.

UI have voice recordings and call recordings if they are of any value? Should I go to police with that?
-
RBhai nothing is going to happen with that. What is the proof any of those recordings belong to the landlord? You will have to pay under the table to cops and lawyers which will be more than 10k. Let it go or speak to the landlord and tell him the deposit was provided basis rental space. If you’re not occupying space, he has to give that back.

UI have had talks with the landlord he refused to give anything back..then had a hot talk on phone too..he didn’t budge..
