Landlord not returning deposit.
30-Nov-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I was a tenant residing in Sangvi area of Pune.Flat was on the ground floor and was flooded with almost 5feet of water in August.It was not possible to stay in the current situation of house . I decided to move out , being a natural calamity I couldn't give landlord notice prior a month as was decided on the notary agreement. Landlord isn't ready to return my deposit on the grounds that I hadn't given them notice prior to a month and the flood has caused damage to the furniture in the house.
Rent amount :8k + maintenance & electricity bill
Security Deposit : 18k

This is my response to you:
1. As per terms of the agreement you must give one months notice;
2. Since it was due to natural calamity you are not bound to pay the monthly rent;
3. You can send him a legal notice asking for refund;
4. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.
