My landlord and I had a verbal agreement, not legally registered, where he asked me not to use the address for official documents like passport or Aadhaar. However, I mentioned the address on my passport application. Now, his brother filed a complaint with the police saying I’m occupying the house illegally. The police won’t clear the verification and are asking for an NOC from my landlord. What should I do?

You should immediately approach your landlord and request him to provide the NOC. Explain the situation and emphasize that the address was used only for passport purposes, not for illegal occupancy. If the landlord refuses, you may need to seek legal counsel to address the issue and resolve the situation.

My lease in Andheri East ends on November 30th and I’m moving out that day. However, my landlord is trying to deduct unnecessary expenses from my security deposit. He’s asking for: 1. An extra 15 days’ rent, even though I notified him on November 12th that I wouldn’t renew the lease. 2. AC installation costs from the previous tenant, which aren’t mentioned in our current agreement. 3. Paint repairs due to roof leaks, claiming it’s not normal wear and tear. 4. The cost of two gas cylinders provided to the previous tenant. I’m worried about these charges and need help understanding what’s fair.
