Sir: I have given my residential apartment on rent to a tenant who violated whatever is agreed on rental agreement signed on stamp paper. These include
I. Vacating premises without honouring 3 month notice period. Also did default payment of rent and maintenance during notice period.
ii,. Did not formally handed over premises and damaged assets and I had to incur 2 months rent to rectify and clean/paint the house. He handed over keys to neighbours and vacated. Handover the house with repairing and painting if vacated in less than 1 year is agreed as per the lease agreement
iii. I had 3 months rent as deposit with me. Do I have rights to adjust amount of deposit against damages done above? Also do I have right to recover 3 months notice period rentals which is agreed as per contract? Now he says he want to file case to recover deposit.
what rights I have on this against tenant who violated rental agreement conditions and what I should do?
