This query is : Resolved
I have been staying in rented house for 12 months now. The rental agreement is from 1-05-2013 and for period 11 months.
The notice period from both parties is mentioned as 2 months. I have given landlord notice of vacating house on this date 30-03-2014.
On 30th April 2014 i would be completing 12 months. Does this mean this rental agreement is still valid after 11 months (There is no renewed rental agreetment after 11 months) and should we compulsorily give notice period of 2 months. The Landlord is not agreeing for 1 month notice and will deduct 2 months rent (for notice period) even if we dont stay in the house. Kindly advice.

you are not required to give 2 months notice period . the agreement has come to an end on 31 st March 2014 . ask licensor for refund of security deposit when you vacated premises in April 2014

i informed him on 30th March 14 that i will vacate house by giving 1 month notice and Rental agreement expires on 31st March2014. He says to give 2 months notice. What legal action can i take if we did not refund my full security deposit amount? Kindly advice.

He might refund but only after deducting 2 months rent which is not correct.
Hence i have to file suit for recovery of that rent amount.

In such case if the landlord does not agree, filing suit for recovery of money is the way left.

The rent agreement comes to an end on the 11th month. The two months notice period is needed only if the tenant wants to vacate the premises, in between.

There is no question of notice period on termination of the lease period. First issue him a legal notice demanding the refund of your advance amount, if he fails to comply then initiate appropriate legal action through court of law.
