You can legally terminate the tenancy by serving a proper notice period as per your rental agreement. You can also pursue legal action to recover the premises, security deposit, and compensation for the illegal water connection. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer for specific advice and to initiate the legal process.

I was living in a 2 BHK flat with two other guys. We each had our own space – I had the master bedroom, one guy had the other room, and the last one slept in the hall. When I moved out, I found a replacement to take over my room, like everyone else had to do. But there was a catch – I had to share the bathroom with one of the guys. My replacement, let’s call him Mr. X, moved in and paid me the rent and security deposit. Now, Mr. X is having problems with the other guys and wants me to give him back his deposit, threatening legal action if I don’t.

I’m a single mother, living with my mom and son in a rented house. We paid a four-month deposit and signed a two-year lease. Due to some family troubles, I fell behind on rent for three months.

My commercial property is partially rented to Tata Croma. We agreed with the main landlord, who owns 60% of the property, to receive rent directly from him. However, he hasn’t been paying us our share for the past 5 months, and even then, he pays late. This has been going on for two years. What legal recourse do we have? Can we send a legal notice to Tata Croma as well, since they aren’t cooperating with us and aren’t paying directly?

We moved into this place, and both the broker and the landlord said two people could be on the lease but 4 could live there for the same rent. Three of us lived here, and we never met the owner until a month before our lease ended. Now she’s saying she wasn’t told about the extra person and wants to deduct ₹50,000 from our deposit. What can we do?
