Home Agreement
1 year ago
I have a lock in period of 11 months for a year of rental agreement that I have signed, I have stayed in this property for 8 months+ now. I want to leave this but my landlord is asking me for 3 months rent(which is according to the rent agreement I have signed), pls suggest. I wonder if lock-in periods are valid, and if I can file a complain in the consumer court.
A.Hi client,
You need to first check thoroughly the conditions of your agreement. Let an advocate do the same. If there are enough scope you can then definitely file a case against them followed by every legal action taken correctly from your end

A.Hello sir,
Yes, you can do so; meeting certain conditions though.
Go through your rent agreement carefully and see what clauses regarding premature termination or lock-in epoch are jotted.
You can always have a civilized conversation with your landlord explaining why you have to move early.
Serve the notice period or pay up for the same if you look to evacuate immediately. In other cases, you can simply notify your landlord that after the notice or lock-in period you will move out.However, as a tenant, you would have to give a notice period of at least 30 days or the term that the Rent Control Act of your locality or your state enforces.
Thank you
