Landlord not allowing to take stuff and not giving security as well


17-Dec-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Got a divorce notice from husband. Dispute with husband now husband staying separate and the agreement is on his name. I told my landlord that i cant afford the same and gave a notice that i will be leaving by 31st december. Earlier they agreed, yesterday i received a call that they are denying to return the security deposit. I switched off my all my appliances and left by still my meter kept running and they are denying to return security and asking to pay rent to get my stuff out. Is there any legal action possible? If yes then what action?

Since the Lease Agreement is in the name of your husband, only he shall be in a position to initiate action for seeking the refund of the security deposit.
We would need to examine the copy of the Lease Agreement for providing further advice in the matter.

Legal action may be taken by filing a suit for specific performance of the contract or a suit for damages. As far as the questions concerning you giving your landlord a notice and the non return of security deposit, and the payment of rent - these questions can be answered only on perusal of the rent agreement. The criminal action option may also be explored on understanding the terms of the agreement.
