Your security deposit and advance rent should be refunded if you provide reasonable notice of vacating, even without a written agreement.
An oral rental agreement is legally valid under Contract Act. Since you're leaving due to urgent issues and have informed them in December for January, this is reasonable notice. Your landlord/PG owner cannot unfairly withhold your advance rent of Rs. 10,500.
You can:
1. Send a written notice (WhatsApp/email) documenting your request for refund
2. If they refuse, file a complaint in local police station
3. Approach the district consumer forum as this is a rental service issue
Keep proof of all payments made and communication regarding vacation notice.
I can assist you with this. Feel free to contact me
