Staying in rented property for 6 years landlord not returning security
22-Apr-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
We four girl are staying in a rented house. We don't have any rent agreement and we are staying here for past 6 years. We initially paid 50 thousand security. The landlord now wants us to vacate the house. Now he is renovating the house and is thinking of recovering the same from us. Not wiling to refund 50 thousand and asking more money. There is email evidence for the same. What action can we take?
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 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.
