I’m facing a tricky situation. I received a cheque from my landlord in Bangalore, but it bounced when I deposited it in Hyderabad. The cheque was for ₹4,500. I’ve been trying to reach him, but he’s not answering my calls even though I know he’s active (he’s in our WhatsApp group!). The problem is, the address he listed in the rental agreement is one of his flats, which he actually rents out. He’s not living there. Can I send a legal notice to that address? If not, what else can I do? A lawyer wants ₹2,000 for the notice and ₹30,000 to file a case, but my friends say it’s not worth it because of the costs and court delays. I’m stuck! Any suggestions on what I can do, legally or otherwise, to get my money back?

You can send a legal notice to the address listed in the rental agreement. While it might be his rented property, it is still the official address for legal purposes. However, since the amount involved is relatively small, explore other options like sending a strongly worded letter via registered post with acknowledgment due. Consider seeking guidance from a consumer forum, as they may handle cases like this for a lower fee.
