If there was no rental agreement in writing and the tenancy was oral, you may communicate your decision to vacate the house/premise in writing by registered post to the landlord and specify the date of vacation while making a demand for the refund of the security deposit held by him. After having specified the date for vacating the premises, you may inform him him that if he is not collecting the keys, you are not bound to pay any rent beyond that date and he is bound to refund the deposit without any deduction beyond that date. If there is no response, you may issue a lawyer's notice and draw him to court for recovery.
