You have the right to get your advance brokerage and token money back, as you did not sign any rent agreement with the owner. Here are some steps you can take to get your money back:
First, try to contact the broker and the owner directly and explain your situation and reasons for cancellation. Request them to refund your money as soon as possible. You can also offer to pay a nominal amount as compensation for their inconvenience, if you wish.
If they do not respond or refuse to refund your money, you can send them a legal notice through a lawyer, demanding your money back within a specified time period. You can also mention that you will take legal action against them, if they fail to comply.
If they still do not refund your money, you can file a complaint with the consumer forum or the civil court, seeking your money back along with interest and damages. You will need to submit proof of payment, such as bank statements, cheque details, receipts, etc., along with your complaint. You may also need to hire a lawyer to represent you in the court.
Alternatively, you can also approach the police and file an FIR against the broker and the owner for cheating and breach of trust. You can also seek their help in recovering your money from them.
I have paid the half brokerage and some token money to the owner but didn't sign the rent agreement. I had to cancel due to some issues but now that I am asking my money back the broker asked that he will check with the owner if some money can be returned. It's been a while since I have heard from him and if I call him then he is disconnecting my calls. What should I do to get my advance brokerage and token money in advance?
