Need an advice to deal with the landlord who himself is a lawyer.
Hi,
Myself Amit Sharma and I am currently working in a IT company here and staying in a rented flat.
I would like to share some incidences and then Ill put up my problem.
1. When we occupied the flat, there was some unfinished furnishing work which owner promised to get completed in some days but that never happened. Due to that my kid got injured and ended up having stitches on upper lip.
2. A few months back there was an electric failure and I wanted to talk to my landlord to see if he knows any electrician who can repair it as I did not know much about the area and there is a language hurdle also. I called up my landlord's number and his daughter picked up the phone and said she will let her father know that I called.
After 3 hours I called again to check if she got a chance to tell her father about the same, she again picked up the phone and started harassing and abusing me.
3. I waited for 11 months to be completed and I looked for another property to stay as I was fed up with their treatment. According to my rental agreement, one month notice is required from either side to vacate the apartment and I intimated my landlord 1 month and 2 days advance.
Now the problem is he is telling he will not refund the amount before 3 months. he literally "Do whatever you want to do I will not refund it before three months.".
Please share all the possible solutions I have and also if their are chances to pull him in a suite of harassment.
Thanks
Amit Sharma

Today i met with a local lawyer and explained my situation. He suggested not to get into legal matters as it will be tough for me to follow up. He said he will talk to my landlord and try to convince him.
I told him I have requested my landlord, I have threatened him, I even asked him to give me lesser amount then due and also I told at least make partial payment so that I can give at least something to my next landlord.
I have failed to convince him for anything. I am hoping the local lawyer and make him arrive at a mutual solution.
I would request you all to kindly guide and suggest me if the step i have taken is right and what should I do?

Because he is also a Kannada I guess.
I am hopeless to see how Kannada people curse and humiliate North Indians where on the other hand in North India everybody is welcomed with open arms.
I know a lot of Kannada people staying in North India without having to face any kind of disgrace but here I have seen most of the locals showing upper hand on North Indians.
And people in south india say North Indians have spoiled their own culture. I believe I am proud of it.
