Cheated in repayment of deposit money
I had rented an apartment in Santacruz East from Ashok Joshi who had let his mother’s property on rent. I being new to Mumbai was cheated by him during registration of the agreement as he told me that due to technical issue the document cannot be registered but can be notarised. When the NOC is supposed to be paid by the house owner, Ashok had made me 50% of that amount I.e.5000 rupees. He didn’t not give me any receipt for that. Also he made false promise that there’s 24hrs water supply but in reality there was water supply only for about six hours in the whole day. I had faced a lot of difficulties because of this false statement made by him at the time of renting. Also we had paid rs.90000 deposit from which he returned only talk. 88000. He said he was withholding da.2000 for dues like gas and electricity bill. But he cheated the whole amount and said he won’t refund theirs.2000. He has been harassing us even during our stay by constantly getting works done in his apartment at our cost. We made heater provision and wash basin provisions in his property and he didn’t even pay us for that. At the end of the day he cheated our deposit money also. Please help us how to proceed about this issue. It has been a torture for over six months because of that house owner.
