While an “Engagement Affidavit” is not a recognized legal document under Indian law, you can consider a notarized affidavit stating your engagement and intent to marry. This can help demonstrate your commitment to the landlord, but it is not legally binding. You may also choose to provide other evidence, such as a formal engagement announcement or family photographs.

My family and I used to live in a beautiful three-storey home, but sadly, heavy rains caused it to become unsafe. We’ve been forced to stay in a rented place while the house is declared unsafe, but our tenant refuses to leave. He’s known for causing trouble and has several cases against him. We want to rebuild our home, but he’s not leaving and hasn’t paid rent in years. The lease was signed with his parents, who have unfortunately passed away. What are our options? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I moved out of my rented house and gave the keys back to the owner and broker. They were late to collect the deposit, so I left the keys and vacated the property. Unfortunately, one of the movers left a tap running, causing flooding in the house and damage to the unit below. Now the owner is claiming we’re responsible for the entire cost of repairs. Is there any way to resolve this situation fairly?

We just moved out of our flat in Whitefield. Our landlord kept one month’s rent and maintenance charges, promising to refund us if a new tenant was found quickly. However, our maid noticed someone already living there. When we asked the landlord, she said it was a free arrangement and the tenancy would begin August 1st. Is this right? Shouldn’t we be getting a partial refund on our rent?

I moved into a house after a tenant left, but we didn’t sign a formal agreement. I have rent receipts for the past six months. The owner lives in Bahrain and only recently came back to India. We had a disagreement, and he demanded I leave, even calling security to help. What are my legal options?

My neighbours aren’t too happy with my tenant, but I don’t want to ask him to leave. We have a one-year lease, but now I need to renew it. The society won’t give me permission though. Is there any way I can renew the lease without their approval?

Previous Article I took my phone to ElectronicsEwa.com for repair. They diagnosed a charging jack issue and quoted ₹800, including ₹200 service charge, with a 6-month warranty. After 3 days, I got my phone back, but it broke again within a day. I was away in Delhi for a few weeks, and when I returned, I contacted them about the recurring issue. They said they’d charge ₹300 for another repair. I paid and left the phone with them, but now they say they can’t fix it. I asked for a refund, as it’s under warranty, but they refused. What should I do?
Next Article I’ve been working for a private company for the past 7 years. For the last 8 months (since August 2013), I haven’t received my salary. My company paid the July 2013 salary only in January 2014. I’ve repeatedly contacted HR about this, but they claim the company has no funds. However, I’ve learned that other branches have paid salaries up to October 2013. I’m in a very difficult situation with no money to manage. I desperately need help with this. I’m at a loss about what to do next. Please guide me with a solution.
