Landlord is refusing to return security deposit after leaving the flat
13-Apr-2024 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
On April 2022 I rented a 1RK flat for which I have paid ₹6500 as a security deposit +₹3500 as the rent of the month.
No legal agreement made, on 28 Feb2024 I have vacated the property but citing many reasons the landlord is refusing to return security deposit, what are my options now ?
In absence of any agreement, there is only 1 option. File a police complaint stating cheating and fraud. if u have any evidence of deposit paid show to the police officer or any witness. Premises was rented to you and you hav stayed there, landlord can deny that. it's only question of deposit which is being malafidely forfeited, citing false baseless reasons inspite of rent being paid on time. File Police Complaint. for further assistance pls contact.

You can show the transactions that were done on monthly basis for payment of the rent and the transaction that was done by you for the security deposit. kindly maintain all the records of WhatsApp as well as any text messages, in order to make appropriate use of it in future, if need arises.
