This query is : Resolved
a tenant left from our house. he hasn't given 15,000 RS(5 MONTHS RENT). he has taken all his furnitures and taken his key and locks with him. HE HAS VACATED THE ROOM. he told us that he is vacating the room. but he does not have money now. he will give the money in the next day. he just left only two tube lights(only 200 RS. may be) in the room and told that when he will come to pay the 15,000 RS. then he will take those two tube lights.
BUT THE TENANT HAS NEVER COME AGAIN.
NOW WE HAVE RENTED THE ROOM TO A NEW TENANT.
can somehow we can get the money by making police complain?

No criminal case can be there for arrears of rent is my firm view.

This is a case of civil remedy. File a civil suit for money.

Better to trace him out and socially settle the issue as court proceeding shall require more than Rs. 15,000/- from your side.

Recovery suit shall require filing of court fee and moreover the current address of the defendant/tenant which you are not having with you.
