A. Dear client,

You ought to have issued legal notice to the landlord before vacating the premises. Issue a lawyer's notice now to him expressing your intention to vacate and claim the recovery of the advance deposit. 2. If he refuses to refund the deposit then you may file a lawsuit for recovery along with interest against him.
