Bully landlord

Hi,

3 of us lives in a rented 2BHK flat 2BHK in Bangalore. We have rental agreement in name of 3 lessees staying in the flat, we gave10 months deposit, we gave painting charges (12k) and pay monthly rent on time.

It has been 4 months since our stay here, and one of the flatmate who is getting married is shifting to other place of his own. We asked landlord to allow us to have new flatmate for which she profusely refused and said that she wont allow anyone other than whoes name is on the rent agreement. She even asked us to vacate the premises than allowing anyone else to stay.

Cost of leaving premise before 11 months is 1> Loosing 1 month of rent as penalty 2> painting charges (which we gave recently) 3> brokerage ( 1 month rent) which we will have to give in case we find for other premise.

Please guide us on the possible steps we could take.

There r several such incidents in life which I can narrate but only one: In MACT court I had appointed an advocate. He was not doing justice so after two yrs of sufferings I wanted to switch . I insisted for a full fees for handing over the files .

The friend who is leaving is leaving prematuredly without ground which can generate sympathy so he must continue to pay his contributions to u all. Landlord does not come in picture.

If landlord is bit human then u can offer to bear redocumentation expense and pay 100 / 200 more per month and she may agree.

Rest will be wasting ur time. In India where u r right and with solid proof ( assasination of Indira/ Rajiv/ case of kasab ) takes years so when u r technically wrong u will get any judgement after 35 yrs and only after waste of hundred s of days and paying huge to counsels.
