What if landlord refuses to return advance rent payment?

I paid ₹10,000 as advance rent via GPay, but now we don’t want the house. The owner is refusing to return the money. Can I get it back? Is there a law for this?

If there’s no signed agreement, the owner must return the amount. You can file a consumer court complaint under the Consumer Protection Act. If there is a written chat or payment proof, it will help. First, send a legal notice asking for the refund. If ignored, escalate legally. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
