Security deposit not being refunded by landlord
2 years ago
I have visited a rental property on July 1st I liked it and i was asked to pay 12000 security deposit as too book the property for me but I
paid 6k instantly and asked him to allow me to pay the remaining amount once I occupy but unfortunately I
quitt my job due to some conflicts in the office .I had to move to other city so I requested him I can't take occupy the property for the above stated reason he agreed he will pay the balance amount shorty ..he agreed I have screenshot but now after stretching it for 1 month he said he will give me 3k only as he spend 1.5k on electric works and 1.5k on cleaning which I know very well that he is lying .. now he has paid 3k only what can I do now

good that he paid 3k.
you broken the contract, not landlord.
once you confirmed the property, you have to pay 1 month notice rent.

The landlord had no right to any money as security because there was no rent agreement and no contract between you and the landlord or owner. To get your money back, contact legal help and report the event to the police. If you wish to pursue the property further, you might try to resolve the conflict by mutual agreement and discussion.
Thank you very much.

You can call legal assistance and report the incident to the police to get your money back. However, if you want to pursue the property further then you can seek to resolve the dispute through mutual consensus and by talking it out.
Thank you.
