Landlord not returning the security deposit

5 years ago

We have been living in a flat since 1 year and recently we saw a leakage problem into our flat. We told this to our owner but he took almost 15days to respond and then visited the place and humiliated me in front of everyone.Manager of the building confirmed this problem is due to poor material used for construction of building and is seen in many other floors too. So we decided to leave this flat because of this kind of behavior from the owner. So we gave him the notice period for 2 months and now he is not returning our security deposit money. Please suggest what to do??

A.Dear Client,
There are two ways.You can settle amicably or can go to the Court of Law.
The other alternative is do not pay House Rent and adjust the advance towards rent.
If he creates any problem talk to an Advocate and issue a Legal Notice for breach of Contract/Agreement.
