I understand your situation — it’s quite common in real estate facilitation when deals are done based on trust and later disputed. But don’t worry, you have strong legal grounds even without a written agreement. Since you have WhatsApp messages, call records, and visit details, these can serve as valid evidence to prove the oral contract and service rendered.

Based on your statement, you were engaged for lease facilitation and successfully completed your part by introducing the tenant and closing the deal. Even though no formal written agreement or invoice exists, your WhatsApp communication, property visits, and any other digital or verbal exchanges serve as valid evidence of a business understanding under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. You may be entitled to your facilitation fee under the principle of quantum meruit (Section 70, Indian Contract Act, 1872), which protects a person who has lawfully provided services with the expectation of payment. Before proceeding legally, please clarify: 1. Do you have WhatsApp messages or other records clearly showing the agreed fee and acknowledgment of your role? 2. Was any advance or partial payment made to you? 3. Are there witnesses or other proof of your visits and role in finalising the lease? If evidence supports your claim, you can issue a legal notice demanding payment, and if unpaid, file a civil suit for recovery of your facilitation charges. Conclusion: You have a valid claim in law; gather all evidence and serve a formal legal notice to the landlord immediately.
