Landlord is not returning my security deposit
2 months ago
I have been a tenant for 3 yrs and in advance 2 maths notice I had given while vacating the house. Further when I returned the key they saw complete house n didn't utter a word of any damages and said within a week advance will be returned. But after a week landlord stated complainimg u have done damage to property so ur not eligible for refund. Now what to be done to recover my amount. I didn't even take photos while vacating the house. Now even after 2 months when I cald her she is not responding neither she is telling where the damage was done till date neither she showed us.
Now new tenant is staying in tht house.
A.Dear Client,
In such a situation, your best course of action is to communicate with your landlord in writing. Send a formal letter or email explaining the sequence of events, emphasizing that there were no complaints during the inspection, and requesting a detailed list of damages along with supporting evidence. Mention the notice period provided and the expectation of the refund within a week. If your landlord remains unresponsive, you may consider sending a legal notice through a lawyer demanding the return of your advance amount. The absence of documented proof of damages makes it challenging for the landlord to substantiate their claim. Consulting with a lawyer will help you navigate this situation more effectively and explore legal avenues to recover your advance amount.
Thankyou

A.Dear Client,
A dispute between a tenant and landlord is resolved under the state-specific Rent Control Act under which a Rent Controller or Addl Rent Controller is appointed to deal with the dispute arising out of a rent agreement or for any unfair reasons between the parties. So, in the prevailing situation, you can file an application explaining your grievance before the concerned Rent Controller to resolve the issue amicably. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
