Yes, in India, you can claim compensation from a tenant for damage to your property. This is based on the terms of the lease agreement and the Indian Contract Act, 1872, which outlines the tenant’s responsibility to maintain the property in a good condition.

I work at a nationalized bank in India and they offer housing assistance. My family and I liked a flat in Gurgaon, but the landlord lives in Mumbai. A broker recommended we talk to the landlord directly, and he agreed to lease us the apartment over the phone. He requested an advance of ₹12,000 for painting the flat, which we transferred to his account. Now, there are some problems with the lease agreement, and we want to find a different apartment. We’ve asked the landlord to return the ₹12,000, but he’s refusing. What can I do to get my money back?
