PG break of contract PG break of contract

5 months ago

So I'm currently staying at a PG. And i have an agreement signed of 9 months, i have stayed 4 months but recently i got a seat in my university hostel. The problem is when i told my pg aunty about that she said i must pay the remaing months money in half of 5 months. The agreement has written to stay at the pg for 9 months but it is not written that i must pay them the fee if i break the agreement. Theres a point about notifying them in one month advance but i tild them suddenly so i will pay them the one month fee. The pg owner told me they never give seats to girls who applied for hostels but never told me about that.

A.Dear Client,
If there is any clause in the agreement allowing you to claim a refund of advance money on service of one-month advance notice before leaving the PG accommodation, then if the landowner refuses to pay back that advance then it may be termed as a breach of contract. In the given situation, you may file a complaint before the Concerned Rent Controller of the area to resolve your grievance suitably. But it also involves a lengthy process to access justice.

A.Dear client
Carefully read through the terms of the agreement you signed with the PG. Check for any clauses related to early termination, notice period, and associated charges. If the agreement specifies a notice period, try to adhere to it as closely as possible. In your case, since you mentioned notifying them suddenly, offer to pay the agreed-upon one month's fee as per the notice period clause. Have a polite and open discussion with the PG owner or manager. Explain your situation, the reason for moving out suddenly, and express your willingness to comply with the agreed-upon notice period and associated charges.
