Remedies available to tenant in case of false promises made by broker
04-Aug-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I rented up two rooms through a broker. The broker told me that the set is fully independent and will give us the access to keys of the gate. We were not told about the timing issues that the landlord has. (The landlord sleeps by 11 and locks the gate) The broker also didn’t mention to us about the dumping yard near the place, which causes extreme discomfort. Had he told us about these issues clearly at the start, we would have never taken the place. He also agreed on the water charges being included in the rent but the agreement says otherwise. We have started living in the property but we have not signed the agreement yet. We also have the voice recordings of the broker, wherein he promises us to get the keys soon. Now the landlord is straightaway refusing to give the keys to us. We want to shift from here. The broker is not ready to face us or meet us and we have also handed him the brokerage and the security+ One month rent in advance to the owner. I want to move out asap
You can file a consumer complaint against the broker for misleading you and then coaxing you into moving to the sais premises on the basis of false promises. A consumer complaint has to be filed before the district consumer forum. This way you can get back the money you paid to the broker.
