House owner not refunding deposit
Hi Sir,
I am a software engineer. I took a home on rent under agreement for 11 months from august 2015 to july 2016 in chennai.
Owner took 1,00,000 rupees as a deposit. It was a 3 bhk flat and we 6 were living there.
Individually we gave 16666 rupees making a sum of 1,00,000 rupees.
In between 11 months 5 people got transfer and another 5 people came to replace them.
We took deposit amount from new member and gave it to old member who got transfer.
We informed owner on watsapp that new member came.
Then till july 2016 everything was fine.
Agreement got over on july 2016. We informed owner that new agreement is needed so please come and meet us because he didnt came to meet new member. I texted him on watsapp , he told me that he will come and meet us and will make new agreement for 11 months.
But he didnt came to meet us. On nov 2016 everyone got transfer and we were vacating the home and when we asked him for deposit he started shouting on us that we should inform him before 3 months.
The point in notice is that agreement is over and we can vacant the room anytime.
Now he is not receiving a phone and whenever he receives he keeps on shouting on us.
Irs been 3 months now he didnt refunded the amount. It was him who didnt came for new agreement and now he is not refunding
2nd CASE
Owner bought this home on jan 2015 and he was not living there and we went there after 6 months thats from august. So for the last 6 months he didnt pay electricity bill. So electricity board cut the power.
When we went there there was no electricity so we informed owner about this that there is no electricity so owner talked to society people and that people joined electricity.
We started living. After two months bill came and it was having a penalty of 43000 rupees for illegal use of electricity. So we informed owner about this , he told us that this happend because of us. So he will pay half of 43000 and half will be bear by us which will be deducted from deposit.
Please help me what to do.
I dont think we have to pay half, how we are suppose to know that electricity usage is illegal.?
Please help me with these 2 case.
