Address:

YNR Green Hills, PJR Enclve Road, Chandanagar, Hyd-500050.(TS)

Dear Sir,
How to get security for my family members from my house owner as we have life threatening from him.
I am Laxmana Prasad, S/O. Ramachandra Rao, aged 63 years, working in ACE URBAN Developers Pvt. Ltd, Q4, Fourth Floor, Cyber Towers, Hitec City, Madhapur, Hyderabad. Present R/O of Flat G 14, Block B, YNR Green Hills, PJR Enclave Road, Chandanagar, Serilingampally, Hyderabad.
My House Owner, Sri. Pentaiah Pulchara, S/O. Pochaiah,
Present Resident of H.No. 4-8-87/7/2, Majeera Nagar, Sanga Reddy.
Working as hostel warden in Anganwadi centre.
Contact Numbers - [protected], [protected], [protected]
Working as – ASWO Narayanakhed, Sangareddy Dist.

We are residing in this house since 15th March 2013, and paying rent regularly through bank as per his request.
The initial advance paid was Rs. 28000/-
The rent paid in 2013 was Rs. 14000/-
There was an increment of Rs.1000/- for every Two years as per his request only.
Now the present rent is Rs. 16000/- paid through bank till end of March 2020 and there were no dues.
As per the owners request for his sons marriage we were supposed to vacate in the month of February 2020, but he stoped and advised to the other party not to give us and the same he informed to us saying the other house owner was his Brother in law.
We got annoyed for this behaviour and searched other house paid advance, the same was informed to Sri. Pentaiah and the date of vacating house was given as 1st Week of April 2020, for which he agreed and asked to pay the old rent only, this was in the 3rd week of February 2020. But he never asked to pay higher rent till this time.
In 1st week of March 2020 Sri. Pentaiah visited our house, expressed astonishment for the packed household items.
We confirmed him that we will be vacating hose in 1st Week of April and he can let out his house from 2nd Week of April, till then if any one visits we will show the house without any reservations. But he never asked to pay higher rent till this time.
He was happy and went out for display the Tolet board. Everything went good till the COVID virus outbreak and lockdown was declared and up to 27th March 2020.
In the evening of 27th March 2020 at around 1745 hours, a person came and introduced as brother in law of Sri. Pentaiah and started saying the house was given for rent to other and demanded us to vacate immediately.
We said that due to COVID lockdown situation we are unable to vacate the house due the other house which we paid advance was not vacated in this Lockdown condition.
Then he demanded to pay Rs.21000/- for the month of April only, we denied the same and explained that this Rs.21000/-figure was never heard from Sri.Pentaiah and we never agree for that, since we already communicated vacating the house, we will do once the lockdown is removed.
But he not listened and started abusing, and then we said we will speak to Sri.Pentaiah only.
From 1800 hours onwards we got threatening WhatsApp messages from Sri.Pentaiah, I am attaching the screen shots of the WhatsApp messages.

For conclusion –
1. There was no commitment from us or request from him for Rs.21000/- rent hike till 27th March 2020.
2. Due to his mischievous behaviour in the Month of February we wanted to vacate his house. Even on the information of vacating or his visit to our in March 2020, there were no talks on rental amount.
3. This is all raised and created dispute by his Brother in law only.
Now we he have a life threatening from Sri. Pentaiah, we need protection from him till we vacate the house and move to other premises which can possible only after Lockdown is removed.

The shifting of house is possible if the Aparna community allows outsiders, the tenant living in the present house, Block C, Flat 208, can shift is household items in to Aparna. After that we can move in to the House Block C, Flat 208. Then the party who were living in next to flat can shift in to Sri.Pentaiah House.
