Deposit refund for rented flat
28-Nov-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
If I move out before the lock in period is over, can the landlord withhold my deposit?
yes it is a loss to the landlord hence as per the law the landlord will withhold your security deposit, which may not be recoverable even if you file a recovery suit.
either bear the loss or stay in the premises till your lock in period gets over.
