Dear sir & Ma'm,
I am a Lt Col in Army and took a house on rent from 01 Aug 21. Paid initial one month rent and security deposit (equal to one month rent) by cheque.
Now landlord is insisting on only cash payment of monthly rent and refusing to issue any receipts nor providing me his PAN No.
On occupation of the house, the roof has been leaking and despite requests on whatsapp and photos, he has not got the repairs done.
I am in Durgapur. Just shifted my family on 1st September and now landlord threatening to evict.
I have spent all my Annual Leave in shifting family and spent a lot of money on fixtures and minor repairs. Now, after settling down, landlord is using my helplessness to his advantage.
Kindly advise.
I am thankful for all who respond and give their valuable advice.

Sir, make a complaint in Rent Control Office that the owner is not issuing the receipt for the rent paid.
