Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

We r in Bangalore, we have taken an house for lease agreement for 3 years on 16th May 2008 which states that when we vacate on 16/5/2011 & the owner will return the lease amount.

Now the problem is Owner is not having ready cash with them and owner is stating that any other new tenant comes & accepts the house for lease out of that money they will settle our amount (which I don't know when will happen)

So my Q is if they don't manage to arrange the amount within the specified date what options are best for me?

Thank you

I suppose he has to refund the security amount and not lease amount. In case the same is not refunded by him you can file a civil suit for recovery of the said amount in court.

Stay in the house without paying any rent to the owner or take post dated cheques or file a suit for recovery of your security amount. Send him a notice claiming your security before doing anything mentioned above,

Vacating the room/land on stipulated time/day by your part is following/abiding

the contractual obligation ,necessarily from the part of land/house owner it

is also obligatory to refund the entire security deposit along with interest(if agreed

upon) on your demand and complaince to agreed norms.

so it is a breach of trust & contract by later's part and you may sue the

house owner in the court of law.
