Consumer Redressal

We were on rent in a house in Blore for 10 yrs. We vacated on June 15th 2013. We had paid advance of Rs 50k. We had adjusted 2.5 months rent with the advance amount, so the owner had to return Rs 27,500. The owner said they would cut Rs 20k for painting (the rule doesnt exist, but all owners in Blore follow this. However, they cut one month\'s rent, in which case, it should have been 9k for us).After we returned the keys, the owner did not finally return any amount. We are at a loss of Rs 27,500. Pls note that the house was returned in good condition. Minor issues with one fan, one lock, one flush, to repair this, it would cost not more than Rs 2k. The owner had rented the house on a lower rent than what he would get in that area bcoz he wanted a good tenant and had changes of a transfer. But this is no reason to hold on to the entire advance amount. House owners cannot treat tenants like helpless beggars.
