Hi,
I had rented a flat in punjab. The tenant has been delaying rent since first month. He had given me rent till month of September. I had taken rent via cheque for September. The rent was paid on 23rd though the due date was 7th. The builder was providing electricity in flats and suddenly his meter was withdrawn. My tenants had due for electricity bill which they have not paid till date and are refusing to do so. Also they stopped paying me rent asking me to get a new electricity supply immediately and then only they will pay rent.
I am uncomfortable to apply for a new meter as the meter is going to be on my name and already i am facing problem in getting rent. So providing meter on my name would mean that i would need to pay the electricity bill also. I have requested them many times to vacate my premises as it is clear they can not afford it.
What should be my line of action.
Thanks
