My tenant informed me he’d be leaving on August 18th, but ended up moving out on August 25th. He paid the monthly maintenance of Rs. 1,200. A new tenant moved in on August 27th. Now, the old tenant wants his maintenance money back. Who should pay the maintenance – the old tenant or the new one?

As the old tenant vacated the property on August 25th, he is obligated to pay the maintenance charges for that month. The new tenant, having moved in on August 27th, is not liable for the maintenance charges for the period before their tenancy commenced.
