Landlord Harassment — Undue Rent taken during Covid

Address:

Tata Ariana, Kalinga Nagar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha

We were last semester engineering students and we girls came home for Holi during March.. only to be stuck at home during Lockdown. In Bhubaneswar we lived in Tata Ariana, flat 1006, Tower 4 in Kalinga Nagar, Odisha. So after four months or so when the lockdown eased, one of our roommate went back to bbsr and packed and sent all our stuff back to us through movers and packers. While this was happening, our landlorrd refused to let us move our things unless we paid him around 52000 rupees to compensate for the months that our stuff remained at his place. Not to mention that our agreement was till may and we paid our rent sincerely till then. Even after that he asked for that money and then he subtracted our 22000 security deposit and asked for 36k which he finally reduced to 30k. We had to give in since we needed our stuf[censored]rgently as it had laptops n phones n cameras and jewellery etc... Even after that, we made sure his house was left in a pristine condition. We submitted the keys to one of the people he sent to collect it. Ever since he has been continually harassing us for the spare keys and keeps asking us to courier them but we had one key and it has already been deposited. This man took 30k from us not including the 2000 rupees electricity bill that we had to pay for.. unnecessarily. The man is Partha Sarathi Tripathi, he lives in pune.
