Reading: I paid a token advance of Rs. 2,500 to a landlord in Delhi through a broker. The broker confirmed the landlord received the money. The next day, I changed my mind about the house and the landlord agreed to return the advance. I waited for him from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm at his place, but he didn’t show up and isn’t answering my calls. How can I get my money back and hold him accountable for this?

You can file a legal complaint in a consumer forum or a civil court in Delhi against the landlord for breach of contract and non-refund of the advance payment. You should also report the matter to the police if the landlord refuses to return the money after being contacted through legal channels.
