House rent
Landlord not returning security deposit

Dear Sir,

I am a software engineer by profession, working for M/s Accenture India Pvt Ltd, and am currently located at London, UK.

During the year 2007 while I was staying at Bangalore, I entered into a 11 month agreement with Mrs GN Parvathi Bai, Mrs GN Padma Bai, Mrs GN Narasu Bai and Mrs GN Rukmini Bai residing at No.10, CK Chennappa Garden, 2nd Cross, Lalbagh Road, Bangalore-560027, for renting their apartment located at Flat No. 709, Cassia Block, Brigade Millenium, Puttenahalli, JP Nagar, Bangalore.

I have not physically met the owners whose names are stated in the agreement document nor have I visited their location stated above. The apartment rental agreement was done through a broker at that time. On behalf of the owners of the Apartment, one Mr Parichay, Mr Panduranga who are believed to be related to the owners and who own a saree shop "Prasiddhi Silks" on KH Road, Bangalore, always interacted with me and handed over the keys to the apartment etc.,

My original intention was to stay the entire 11 months of thte agreement, however due to office needs, I was asked to relocate myself at UK after 8 months of stay at the above apartment on rent. I have been paying my monthly rent regularly.

Once it was certain that I was unlikely to return to India in the near future, I decided to invoke the clause in the agreement which stated that either party can give a month notice and terminate the agreement. As per this clause, I sent an email to Mr Parichary on 11th Feb stating that I will vacate on 11th March. I also made calls to Mr Parichay from London informing the above details. Also called him from Calcutta a week ago, stating that I would be arriving on Bangalore and vacating the house.

When I went to return the apartment keys to Mr Parichay on 14th March, he passed me on to Mr Panduranga, and inspite of visiting their shop at KH Road 3 times till this moment on 15th March, they have not returned the security deposit given to them (10 months of advance @ Rs.13, 500). They are also harassing me stating that they will not return any money whatsoever, or they will cut 45 days of additional rent, for no reasons whatsoever.

My current problem is that I have to fly away to London UK tomorrow, and I will not be here. I don't know what to do with the keys of the house, and I do not know how to get my security deposit back.

Under the circumstances, I am trying to file a FIR with JP Nagar police under whose control the apartment would come and put a new lock in the apartment, so that the owner who also has a key, does not enter the house, and break structure/fittings and claim damage as if I have caused the same.

I request your good self, to advise further course of action, in getting my security deposit.

I can be reached through the following mobile numbers.
