965 votes

In the given situation, you can send a legal notice to your landlord. The tenant should approach the Rent Controller giving her/his reasons. Once the tenant is summoned by the Court, he/she will be required to put forth her/his case with adequate evidence for support. The following points can come in handy while accumulation of evidence:
Notice to Receive Rent: If the landlord fails to receive the rent deposited by the tenant, he/she should issue a notice in writing that asks the landlord to specify a bank for depositing the rent within ten days of receiving the notice. The notice should clearly mention the non-receipt of the rent on the part of the landlord and the option that one is exercising as a tenant. If the bank details are received within ten days, the tenant should deposit the rent as soon as possible.
Money Order: If the landlord fails to reply to the above notice, the tenant must directly send the rent to the landlord via Money Order. The Money Order coupons should be kept safely as proof of payment of rent. In the landlord receives the Money Order, the tenant should continue the payment in the same mode.
Petition in Court: in the landlord refuses to accept the Money Order as well, the tenant should file a petition before the appropriate court and get the court order to deposit future rents in the court.
