Break the pg contract
6 months ago
I had a contract of 11 months lockin period with a pg in delhi. I stayed here for 2 months, next month I want to shift to flat because of health issue, food isn't suiting me, water contains chlorine which is creating skin diseases, rusting of vessels, cleaning isn't proper and so on. I asked them today regarding this problem, they are mentioning that they won't refund me the security deposit until the next person joins this pg and occupies the room. This point isn't mention in the agreement except 11 month lockin period. I want my security deposit back. Any idea
A.Dear Client,
If you possess a copy of the rent agreement that provides the condition of a refundable security deposit, if that condition is violated by the Building/PG owner you may serve a legal notice to him and bring the matter to the notice of the Rent Controller concerned through a written complaint for the redressal or your grievance. Or else you can escalate your complaint before the Consumer Protection Council headed by the District Magistrate of the respective district to resolve the grievance through a mediation process at the pre-litigation stage.

A.Dear Client,
Carefully review the rental agreement you signed when you moved into the PG accommodation. Look for any clauses related to the security deposit, early termination, or refund policies. Most rental agreements in India require tenants to give a specific notice period (usually 1-2 months) before moving out. Ensure you comply with this notice period to avoid any penalties. If you have legitimate health and safety concerns due to the conditions in the PG, document them with photographs, videos, or written records. This evidence may be crucial if you need to pursue legal action. India has various consumer protection laws and regulations that may apply to rental accommodations While the agreement may not explicitly mention the conditions for refunding the security deposit, landlords in India are generally required to return the security deposit within a reasonable time frame after you vacate the premises, minus any legitimate deductions for unpaid rent or damages. If the PG owner refuses to refund your security deposit and you believe your rights have been violated, you may consider taking legal action. This typically involves filing a complaint with the appropriate consumer protection authority or pursuing a civil suit in the appropriate court.
