You may recover the amount from the landlord by filing an appropriate suit. However, it must be taken note that pursuing legal remedy for the said sum of Rs. 16,000/- might not be the best or the most cost effective solution to your problem. Also, you need to be able to corroborate your claim for the said amount by appropriate evidence. Consultation advised.
