Asked by Raj
I am looking for a piece of advice.
I bought a property with tenancy one year back. The house was purchased based on inventory from the previous owner and the original inventory and contract was handed over by my lawyer at the time of completion. During the tenancy period tenant continued to pay me the rent and at the time of handover when the inventory was verified, few items were found to be missing. When the deficiency was highlighted to tenants in presence of agents, tenant came up with explanations that either the items were old or taken away by previous owner. There is nothing mentioned in the original contract with regards to past incidents. I. Have requested the tenant to replace the inventory, but he remains silent, I have sent him the bill that I intend to deduct based on market quotes, again he is silent. Very soon the period of 14 days for refund of deposit shall be over. Kindly advise can I issue a cheque of balance money after my deduction based on available quotes.
