► Property: 1BHK (rented to company employees)
Parties involved:
Owner (myself) – Landlord
Tenant – Company (through its HR/representative)
Broker – Intermediary who arranged tenancy
Broker’s friend – Holder of the account to which rent was wrongly transferred
---
Facts of the Case
1. I rented out my 1BHK flat to a company for its employees.
2. Rent was due on the agreed date, but I did not receive it in my bank account.
3. After repeated follow-ups and a delay of around 15 days, the company informed me that they had already paid the rent on time. However, the payment was made to an account number belonging to my broker’s friend, not mine.
4. The broker concealed this fact from me initially and only admitted it when the company revealed the transaction details.
5. After being exposed, the broker transferred only half of the rent to my account.
6. The broker claimed that he kept the remaining half as his “brokerage” fee, even though brokerage was never agreed to be deducted directly from rent. I had promised to pay his brokerage separately, not by adjusting from rent.
7. As of now, I have received only half of the rent, and the broker is holding the other half unlawfully.
