February 12, 2025 at 2:37 pmI had rented a house for βΉ5500 per month and had deposited βΉ50000 security deposit.Since the rent and deposit was small value we never had a written agreement, all we had was oral agreement and I made all payments online.
I even paid for gas and electricity online.Now that I vacated the house after a year, I got the house repainted for βΉ20000 for which the owner has paid.
After getting the paint job done, I handed over the keys to the owner. And the owner told me he will return the advance(remaining βΉ30000) in a couple of days.
It has been weeks and the owner is not returning money and is giving excuses now, sometimes he doesnβt answer my calls.
What action can I take here?
Place Tumkur,Karnataka

Frustrating him is the the only solution I see. Legally nothing will happen, even if you had an agreement legal pursuit would not be worth it.
