Tenant issues - Bangalore
3 years ago
Hello,
We have been staying in a rented flat in Bangalore from the past 1.25 years. The flat is owned by a retired couple with whom we were on good terms until March 2021. Since they ill treated us over a parkong issue, we planned to vacate the house. Considering their age, we did not want to quote anything disrespectful to them, so we just went by the agreement and gave them one month written notice before vacating.
Owing to their inability to find new tenants due to the current COVID situation they have been treating us really badly over the past one month. Now when it comes to return of security deposit they have been stating that they would return our amount only after the new tenant comes that too after deducting minimum 20% of the deposit (maximum can go to any amount). No such clause has been mentioned in rental agreement. They aren't ready for a healthy communication and not ready to even consider rental agreement as a written confirmation. It was purely on humanitarian grounds and owing to their age that we did not initially want to create a problem. Please advise if I should send them a legal notice and what would be charges involved.
Stay there till your advance is exhausted. They cannot do anything.

if the parking problem will solve then you will continue ?'
well send a legal notice and it should solve problem.
if they delay further then you will loose new house so now you can shift and then file recovery case.

Given the facts of the case, it is important for you to give them a legal notice as soon as possible, informing them of the wrong they are doing. They don't seem to have any potential ground, and they seem to be harassing you on purpose.
Seeing on to the facts of the case, it is necessary for you to immediately send them a legal notice without any delay, making them aware of the wrong which they are committing. They don't have any potential ground, it seems intentionally they are harassing you.
Immediatley you should contact the lawyer and start with the proceeding against such a wrong doing.
