According to the complaint filed by the tenant Sheetal Suryawanshi, she and her family were asked to leave the residence even before they could complete the lock-in period as per the agreement. Reportedly, the tenant had signed a contract with the actors team for 6,094 sq.ft. house with a lock-in period of 24 months. However, these reports have claimed that the tenant alleged that she received a notice 11 months after they shifted, in August, where in she was asked to empty the apartment in a span of one month. The complainant has apparently also expressed the trauma she underwent owing to the same because the sudden notice had left her family in a lurch.

Furthermore, she has also claimed Rs. 1.04 lakhs for the inconvenience and hardships suffered by her family, state these reports. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor is said to have filed his response in court denying all allegations. According to Ranbirs response, the tenant vacated the house out of their own free will.
