This legal notice serves as a formal demand for the immediate return of advance deposit unlawfully withheld by you for flat rent and compensation for the unprofessional and intimidating behavior encountered by my clients.

On, 06-05-2024. You and My client had a conversation for rent of your flat House No 1199, (Near Bus Stand), Uttam Nagar, New Delhi-110059.

That, You agreed on a rent of 8000/- (Eight Thousand Only) per month i.e. without electricity bill and water bill.

That, You promised my client that once he moves into the flat, then you would make the payment and sign the agreement.
That, my client saw your flat at 8 PM that night and he liked it. However, he mentioned that you should get it repaired and also have it painted and only in that condition he will take it on rent, for which you agreed.
That, You also said that “you will need to give an advance of 5000, and the full amount after moving in.”
That, my client gave you an advance of 5000 on May 6. Through your UPI id (Transaction id- )
That, The next day, my client spoke to you about getting the flat cleaned and painted.
That, You contacted my client on the next day, (On May 7, 2024,) at 8 PM and called him to come the flat.

That, You also said that my client would have to live with it as it is, and you started asking for the remaining money.
That, as per the initial conversation my client asked for the refund as you miscomitted of getting it painted and didn’t do it, to which you denied to refund.
That, Initially you refused to return the advance but after much requesting of my client, you agreed to return 1000 but refused to return full amount.
That, You spoke very rudely to my client and hurt their sentiments which caused my cient unwarranted mental agony.
That, You returned 1000 and clearly refused to give back the rest of the money and displayed unprofessional behavior including:

Denying the refund outright. You initially denied it and later only refunded Rs. 1,000 while refusing to refund the remaining amount. you also threatened to take back the refunded money.
Retaining a significant portion of the deposit (Rs. 9,000) after repeated requests, without any valid justification.
Refusing to return calls and engaging in disrespectful and misbehaving communication.
