How to claim return of security deposit from broker


11-Oct-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Sir/Madam, I taken 1 BHK through a broker in bangalore on 2nd October through a broker. He told 24hr water,but daily water problem is there. Every time he will say.. from tomorrow it will come. When I requested him for different house, he didn't listen. So without having any choice, I have searched a new house and vacating here tomorrow on 12th October. Problem is, he is telling to deduct 20 thousands out of my security sum of 35,000. I have also signed a rent agreement where 1 month notice from both side is mentioned. My monthly rent is 10,000. So he should reduce 10000 max. As he told pure lie on water and behaved as a fraud, he don't deserve to get back money.But I am ok to pay 10000. But he is arguing to cut 20000 and if I resist will not return any sum. I objected strongly he said in Hindi : "Aise baat karega toh kaat dalega". How can I pay 20000 just for 10 days and getting cheated by them....What should I do, please advice..

(1) Issue a legal notice ask him to pay the security deposit amount plus interest from the date of the demand till realization and if he did not paid the amount then you have to file a suit for recovery of money.

(2) you must also lodge a police complaint so he may come to the settlement.
