tenant- owner dispute

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 20 November 2009 This query is : Resolved
I had a problem with my tenant over harassment of my daughter. Based on the complaint the poice filed an FIR on Harassment of Women act and was remanded. He came out on bail. Later he has vacated the premises and sent a lawyers notice alleging mental torture etc and has said that he will give the key on return of his deposit of Rs 50000/-, For five months he has not paid the rent of Rs 7500/-.Once he sent the rent to us by post but we did recieve it. One lawyer suggests that we claim that the key is already given to us and state that the remaing amount that is due to him minus rent arrears and power charges since the tenant might still not hand over the keys. Another suggests that we go in for a straight deal and settlehis amount and take the key.
Which is the best option?

I agree with the first suggestion if he has admitted that he has vacated the house, and that you have not committed that he has not returned keys to you in reply to his notice.

Settlement is the better option which shall even end personal bitterness for ever.
