Rent fraud by the owner and the co tenant what action can i take
01-Dec-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
We are tenant of one bhk flat in Bangalore. At start for 1st month rent we handover it directly to the one of the person who is another tenant of landlord saying that he will transfer money on behalf of us. And now landlord is saying that he didn't received money for 1st month and assuming that i always pay rent after month completion where as i am paying it at start of month. Now that man hadn't transferred money to landlord for 1st month and telling us that that was a commission for house which he never disclosed to us. Please suggest me what should i do?
It is a case of fraud which needs to be handled with caution. However correct advice will depend upon the content and language of the Rent Agreement and your interaction with the middleman. You can consult a property lawyer showing the Rent Agreement or can send a soft copy to us via email.
