My friend in Mumbai faced a lot of difficulties with her landlord during the lockdown. The landlord harassed her for rent advances. She had already talked to him regarding the same and said that she will not be able to pay advance rent due to the salary cut. Landlord became selfish and started bothering her to pay an advance of 3 months rent. She tried to reason with him but all in vain. That is when she reached out to a lawyer friend and asked where to file complaint against landlord in India. He helped her and told her what to do. I asked her about the same and this is what she told me.
