landlord not returning security deposit even after notice was served
16-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
I belong to Sikh religion. I have rented 2nd floor of a house around 4 months back. Landlords live in ground floor and there is one more tenant in 1st floor. We did agreement of 11 months as usual and given 1 month rent as security. But due to some personal reason I need to shift. So, I have given a verbal notice of 1 month on 13th March, 2017 to landlord about me vacating the property as there is a clause of 1 month notice. But now, they are making all kinds of excuses. Please give me clarity on following points: 1. They say we cannot vacate on 13th April, we can vacate only on 30 April as the agreement was effective from 1st of the month. Is it true or I can vacate ? 2. I am sensing they don't want to refund the security which was given in cash. I don't have any security deposit receipt or rent receipt. What can I do ?
Hi,
Donot need to worry you have come to right place here your all queries will be resolved and you will be able to know what are your rights as a tenant.
As per the agrrement for 11 months it would be mention that you have given some security to your landlords before taking the said property.on rent. If yes you can serve him upon another notice for returnig back your securtiy amount. If not then also you can call a notice both personally or through written. Noq yoy need to vacate house for unforseen reasons and it is the duty of any party in coontract to convey one month notice which is on your part and you have obliged for the same.
It is your right when to vacate rented property subject to the date mentioned.if yoy go legal way ask him his property will be stuck and he wont be able to give the property on rent to any other till the pendency of the suit. If you like my amswer kindly rate me.
