It is illegal to discriminate against someone based on their origin or state of residence. Asking about their source of income, employment details, and references is crucial. Ensure the rental agreement includes clear terms about rent payment, maintenance responsibilities, and a notice period for eviction.

My family has been facing a legal dispute over a property since 2012. After winning the case in court, we obtained possession in 2013, but the other party vanished. We finally tracked them down after repeated attempts, but they appealed the verdict, even though the time limit had passed. The court surprisingly allowed the appeal, claiming the other party was not given a chance to respond. However, the truth is, they were given multiple opportunities to appear in court but chose not to. This feels unfair, as they should not be rewarded for their own inaction. What legal options do I have to ensure justice is served?

I’ve been living in a rented flat in Mumbai since November 2014, with my agreement expiring on August 31st. We were four tenants, each paying a security deposit of ₹15,000. Everyone paid online except me, as I didn’t have internet banking then. We vacated the flat in August 2015, but the landlord is refusing to return my security deposit, claiming I lack proof of payment. The agreement clearly mentions my cash payment, signed by her. I’ve been hoping she’d reconsider, but she’s adamant. What legal options do I have to get my deposit back?
