Security Deposit

Q: Were paying rent of 14000 and Agreement is over by Feb'14 and Landlord updated us in Jan'14 that he is increasing the rent , so we told we will not renew the rent agreement, will vacate the property within one month., But now he is saying I will deduct one month rent from Deposit as we have not Given him Notice of 3 months. First Our he didnt updated us till 15Jan increase of rent. Then Our rent agreement is over by this month so we thought we have to vacate the house, He also uploaded the advertisement on CommonFloor that His flat is ready for immediate possession. Agreement say in One line that We have to inform him Before 3 months. Thats it. My question is that Our agreement is over and WE are not suppose to give notice of 3 month and we gave him 1 month notice.
2. Agreement doesnt say that he can deduct the amount if we didnt serve the notice. 3. his mistake he is increasing the rent by Approx15% not by 10%.
3. What Can I do now

Hi Shashi,
I ran into similar issues with my landlord regarding the security/advance deposit which I had paid as a part of the rental agreement. As the advance amount was quite high (Bangalore rents are atrocious!!), I decided to take a legal opinion. I found a good lawyer on ZippServ who helped me send a legal notice to the owner.
(https://www.zippserv.com/personal-legal/legal-notice.html). For a couple of thousand bugs the notice was sent and within a few days the owner returned the balance advance money owed to me. Hope this is helpful.

I second you Shashi, Did he mention in the agreement that he is going to increase the rent by 15%. If not mentioned then you can take some action in this matter. Usually owners increase rentals by 10% but not by 15%

Thanks...Neha. But I think 3 month notice is applicable if we have vacated the property before 11 months, that's the general rent agreement clause. I know As the agreement doesn't specify on the notice period clause properly, he is trying to take it..

Hey Shashi, If it is mention in the agreement that you have to give 3 month notice and you have given only one month notice. I think he is going to go deduct some amount from the deposit amount. For further clarification you can take advice from some legal expert.
