What to do if the landlord keeps one month deposit while vacating
11-May-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I am stying in a rented house from 4 months, and then owner asked to vacat house as he is selling the property. We agreed and then next day new owner asked to stay in same flat. But now previous owner does not want to settle full deposit amount he is saying he will deduct 1 month rent for painting cost, is it legal? He is also demanding 1 month rent, as on 11th he sign the paper. And for same month new owner is also asking rent. Please suggest!
The previous owner shall have return the deposit. If the rent concerned to before the month of signing the sale papers, the previous landlord is entitle to collect. The present owner has agreed to continue your tenancy, he is entitle to collect rent from his purchase date. The painting charge shall not be deducted. The duty of the orevious has to settle the deposit amount before selling the property or rearrange to purchaser by deducting the same in sale amount. If the previous owner is not repaying the deposit, you can take legal action.
