Property and tenancy disputes turn on documents: the rent agreement, payment records, title deeds and correspondence. Depending on the dispute, the route may be a notice, mediation, the rent controller, the civil court or, for builder issues, Haryana RERA. GurugramHelp assists with organising the documents; legal action is taken through advocates.
What can a landlord do if a tenant stops paying rent?
Start with a written demand or legal notice that refers to the rent agreement. If that fails, eviction and recovery go through the appropriate legal forum, such as the rent controller or the civil court, depending on the tenancy. A clear written agreement, registered where required, makes this much easier.
Common disputes
- Tenant not paying rent or not vacating
- Security deposit not returned
- Damage to the property at the end of a tenancy
- Disputes between co-owners or heirs over shares
- Boundary, encroachment or possession disputes
- Builder delays and possession problems
Prevention is cheaper
Rent disputes are far easier to handle when the agreement is written clearly, signed properly and registered where needed, and when the tenant has been police-verified. If you're about to let a property, start there.
Builder and project disputes
For delays and defects in registered real estate projects, Haryana RERA is a dedicated forum. A complaint there needs the allotment documents, payment records and correspondence.
What to bring
- Rent agreement, sale deed or allotment documents
- Payment records and bank statements
- Photographs of the property
- Messages, emails and notices exchanged
How GurugramHelp helps
We help assemble the documents and a clear timeline, so the advocate can act quickly.
Common questions
Can a landlord change the locks or cut off utilities?
Self-help measures like changing locks or cutting water and electricity can expose the landlord to legal liability. Eviction should go through the legal process.
How do I get my security deposit back?
Ask in writing, with photographs of the property’s condition at handover. If it’s withheld without basis, a legal notice and, if needed, a civil claim may follow.
Where do complaints against builders go?
Complaints about registered real estate projects can be filed with the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority; consumer commissions are another route in some cases.
