First of all you have to tender rent by postal money order and if the landlord does not accept it then you can file an application before the court for depositing rent in the court(Rent controller) given under section 27 of Delhi rent control act and the Controller may, on the complaint of the tenant and after giving an opportunity to the landlord of being heard, levy on the landlord a fine which may extend to an amount equal to two months’ rent, if the Controller is satisfied that the landlord, without any reasonable cause, refused to accept rent though tendered to him within the time referred to in section 26 and may further order that a sum out of the fine realized be paid to the tenant as compensation.
