Hi Respected experts,
With due respect i want your expert opinion on my problem.Me and my family living in rented house in Bangalore.My father is in army and he is posted in Sikkim.We vacated our previous rented house in 5 and a half months due to health problem of my mother and transportation problem. We have given advance payment of 75000/- by cheque.8500/- was the monthly rent which was submitted to the owner every month before 5th.Electricity and water bill are paid before vacating the house.According to the agreement both the parties agreed on the 10 points.Pics of the 10 points are enclosed with this query.
Owner told us that he will give our advance after one month and the half rent of September (because we vacated the house before 15th of that month) because we didn't inform him two months before vacating the house.So we told him okay no problem we will take after one month. Then after few days later he told us on phone that he will deduct and give us only 59000. We agreed on this also because my father was not here and the owner has lots of contacts in Bangalore. Local people told us don't argue with him on this matter, take whatever amount he want to give. But now after approx 5 months he has not given one single rupees.
Now please look into this matter and suggest me what I can do now.
Thank you.

You can avail of civil remedy as well. As the first step, you may issue a legal notice.

As advised by experts, first resort to sending a legal demand notice, wait for his reply, if there is no response, you may lodge a complaint with the police in the local or file a money recovery suit in the local jurisdictional court.
