Owner not returning the refund
6 months ago
Hey, I signed a two-year lease, but after experiencing some paranormal activity, We were unable to stay there and had to depart. It has been more than two months since I gave the owner my notice, and he has stated he would only return the deposit if he finds a new renter. I've been after him, and he says to go ahead and file a lawsuit, saying he doesn't give a damn.
A.Dear Client
Carefully review the terms of your lease agreement, paying attention to any clauses related to early termination, security deposit, or unforeseen circumstances. Understand your rights and obligations. If you haven't already, provide written notice to the landlord explaining the situation and the reasons for breaking the lease. Keep a copy of this notice for your records. If the dispute persists, you may consider filing a claim in small claims court if the amount in question falls within the jurisdiction's limits. Small claims court is designed for disputes of relatively lower monetary value.

A.Dear Client,
In the absence of any condition in the lease agreement specifying that the land owner shall refund the security deposit to the lessee on the availability of a new lessee, you may escalate your grievance before the Rent Controller concerned for redressal of your grievance after serving a legal notice to the land owner.
