Landlord got cheque bounced and filed case for non payment of rent
28-Jul-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I paid rent of month of july to the landlord through cheque on 5th of July. However, she didn't present it till 20th of july and on 20th juy I gave her a notice to vacate the house verbally. I got the cheque stopped from my bank but by that time she had presented the cheque in her bank which after 2 days got rejected/bounced. Now, I am asking her to give me back the rejected cheque but she is not ready to listen. Now, my question is that Can she file a lawsuit against me on this matter? or what shall i Do?
If you have paid the rent and wants to stay no more in same premese than you contact a lawyer get the notice issue to lond lord. And write in that notice that after so and so date I m not your tenat. The cheque which i have given you , kindly return and do not misuse that cheque. Otherwise he will issue a legal notice u/ s 138 ni act.
