On 10th Oct i gave my shop on rent, with 50000 fixed deposit, we have an informal written agreement for 11 months, after the first month he didn't pay rent, make the excuse that he didn't earn that much as they start, i reply no issue pay next month, he only pays utility. Nov, Dec, Jan he didn't pay rent, now from this month i have to their utility. i have already invested 50,000 on the maintenance of the building.
I want to vacant my property, but i can't pay the balance amount, i want to block their fixed deposit till the original expiry date of the agreement, can i do this...? or what should i do...?

In the formal agreement, did you agree that the fixed deposit will be returned after the expiry of the period or by deducting the dues if any?

The facts, as posted, lack clarity.

You may issue legal notice for outstanding rent as well as determination of tenancy.
