Dues Recovery by landlord from tenant


14-Jan-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
We have recently vacated a tenant from our house in Bangalore. This tenant was occupying the house over 3 years and was asked to leave.The tenant while leaving requested for payment of Rs1.5 lakhs as return amount from their deposit before vacating. At that time we were under the impression that their total deposit with us was about Rs 2 - 2.5Lakhs. But after paying them the amount we realised that they had only Rs 1.75L as the deposit amount with us. In addition after vacating they have not painted the house or paid for painting, not cleaned the house in addition to other damages, not paid the full rent of last month (only Rs 25,000 could be recovered from deposit vs rent of Rs 29,700) and outstanding arrears of bills. After handing over to the property management company they have given a quote of Rs 78,000 for painting, cleaning and repairing damages. In addition the rental outstanding is Rs 4,700 plus another Rs 2,000 for bills. We would like to put a legal claim for Rs 84,700

yes you can first issue a legal notice asking them to pay the amount within 15 days and if they fail to pay then you can file a civil suit for recovery of money in civil court, so at first see by issuing a legal notice and if they do not come forward for any settlement or payment then file a suit.
