you can issue legal notice to your owner. however, your rent agreement needs to be scrutinized to decide what is to be done.

Issue a notice conveying your need for advance amount at the time of vacating. Alternatively inform that you will be staying on the property without paying rents which shall be deducted from the advance amount including the maintenance charges that you are required to pay. Additional inconvenience that can be quantified as loss in terms of money can also be informed to the owner and the same can be added to the advance amount. Engage a competent lawyer and carry forward the legal course of action carefully.
