Where is this place located..what doy out mean by heavy deposit...is it on rental accomodations or sale purposes please clarify for further answers.

Hi 

File a police complaint against him for breach of trust. 

Since your money is still with him, you just ignore his demands and stay put in the premises do not vacate.

You stay there till your deposit is adjusted against the rent payable.

Since no notice is given by him, do not react.  

If he insists you to vacate by sending notice etc., you can ask him to adjust the rent from the deposit paid by you. 

In alternative, you have to sue him for refund of deposit with interest (litigation is long drawn proposition, it is better to avoid).

See that, the rent payable is adjusted against the deposit you paid and upon adjustment, you can vacate the premises. 

Send him legal notice for termination of tenancy due to no light meter and water leakage issues and demand refund of deposit. And stop paying rent.

Until deposit not refunded, don`t vacate the premises.

Dear Sir,

You are suggested to serve a legal notice to the landlord/owner asking the refunds and compensation due to damages for non compliance by him and if not complied with the notice, file the case for the same. 

- You should not suggested to vacate the house , without getting your deposited amount from the landlord, and further the landlord legally cannot take possession from you without payment of advance money to you. 

- Since he has send you a legal notice for vacating the house , then you should reply the said notice after mentioning that you are ready to vacate the tenanted house , if he refund the deposited amount . 

- Further ,if the landlord is creating trouble in your possession after cutting light facility etc, then you can file a suit for Mandatory and Permanent Injunction before court , for restraining him from dispossess you forcibly and to get election connection legally. 

-  Further, if you want to vacate the tenanted premises , then without vacating the premises file a suit for recovery of the deposited amount against the landlord. 

you should send him a legal notice through a lawyer for termination of contract and refund of security deposit.

If there is no satisfactory response to the notice, you should approach the court and file a suit for recovery.

Hello,

1. As he has not served you notice, you can serve him notice and announce the date you intent to vacate. Hope you have that option in the Agreement.
2. Lodge a complaint with the local police along with a copy of the notice and request help and presence of police if required at the time of your vacating.
3. Ask him to make an electronic funds transfer of the deposit amount or issue a cheque in your name or a DD.  

1. Send a notice to owner that you are leaving the flat and want refund of deposit before completion of notice period.

2. If he refuse to refund the money make a complaint before rent control authority of Mumbai against landlord for not refunding security deposit.
