hi
i am looking for few information here if someone can help me.
i got shifted from Mohali (Punjab) to Ludhiana (Punjab), here i took the rented accommodation with the help of consultant.
It was a duplex Kothi which has open space in between first floor and ground floor, so at the time of taking the house, consultant and landlord promised to close the open space and built the drawing n dinning area for us with in 15-20 days time.
they asked me to sign the agreement where they have not mentioned the same it was general draft.
Rent has been decided on following terms, i will pay Rs 5500 till the time they complete the work and after that Rs 6200. again its not written on agreement.
its been four months now, they have just completed flooring which they should have done 3 months before and we lived in dust and now they are denying that we can not make drawing and dinning area, nor they have placed hook for fan, rallying and door. more over their servants are using that floor to go to second floor, since there is no other way, when i asked why they are using my floor to go to second floor, he said my mother has already told you about that, matter of fact , his mother never said such thing, why would i allow when i am paying rent. so my privacy is gone, now he is saying its your choice if you want to vacate you can..so i said yes.
i have been delaying his rent so that he complete his work. now he is accusing me for delaying the rent.
when i told to consultant about it, he is favoring landlord saying you don't pay rent on time and he has completed his flooring work, fan hook,rallying, door, are small things, about privacy you can see, if you want to vacate you can.
landlord is asking for full monthly rent of rs 6200 saying i have completed flooring for which i promised.
now you help me.. what i should do?
