Question on repaying the rental advance

My tenant has evicted my house but the house is in a pathetic state. The marble and tiles are very dirty and there are some broken glasses. The age of the flat is 6 years and the tenant has also stayed for 6 yrs.

The bathroom doors are slightly broken. We had taken an advance of 50,000. I guess some amount could be detected from the advance.

Can somebody throw a light on this????

Hi Subasrilatha...

You can deduct from advance if you have put a clause in the lease deed

pertaining to that.

But six years is a fairly long time and wear and tear are bount to happen.

Tiles can be acid cleaned.Marble cleaning is not that successful if the stains and dirt has seeped in deeply.

like shakambari said, if it's in the lease yes you can deduct.

but like she pointed out, the normal wear & tear over 6 years should be taken into account.

if there is a breakage then that can be recovered.

but if it's not in the lease, then mutually both will have to agree & get couple of quotes for the repairs, then agree for the amount to be deducted.
