Dear Sir / Madam,

If the total rent and maintenance recovery amount from your previous tenant is less than the Security Deposit they have given you, at the time of entering into the Agreement for Leave and License (ALL), you remain liable to return their belongings and the net amount after all adjustments to be refunded back to them. No doubt, the previous tenant has no "locus standi" to ask your present tenant to pay the dues. For your safety, you may warn the tenant against dealing with your present tenant, informing the previous tenant that you be forced to report the matter to the Police.

Regards,
