Re: Rental Lease

You may be entitled to pursue your remedies in terms of the agreement executed with the tenant.

Since you have already delivered possession to the tenant, you may seek his eviction only the grounds available in law.

If the terms of the agreement envisages 100000/-as security deposit, then you can file a suit for breach of contract.
