Best way for 1 month notice for leaving a flat as a tenant
Hello, I am a tenant of a flat in Pune, Maharashtra. I have rented the flat with proper agreement and been staying there since 22 months. My current agreement is for 22 months starting from 5th Nov 2018 and ending somewhere in Sep 2020. I wish to leave the flat before this end date in next month or so. I am planning to give 1 month notice to Landlord in coming few days. But the landlord stays in a different state of India and is not local to me. How do I best give the "1 month notice" of leaving the flat that the Landlord does not deny receiving it ? I would like to send the notice by courier or speed post. But, he may say that he never received the notice and claim the next month's rent also. The landlord has not provided proper email and says he does not use email much. So the option of giving the notice on email is somewhat problematic. -Can "Whatsapp" be used legally to send this notice ? -If I call him on phone, should I record the call when giving notice..? -What if he does not pick the phone My main concern is that he should not deny or falsify that I gave proper 1 month notice to him. And the problem is that he is not staying close by to hand over the notice in person. Thanks.

- Any notice served through Indian registered post is valid service of such notice. So you must go ahead and serve the notice through registered post. You must preserve the receipt of postal department as evidence of the valid services of notice
There must be one address in your Lease Agreement you need to send your legal notice of vacating the property and the same address with the registered post and at the same time you can send the copy through email and WhatsApp to your landlord it is not material that the landlord is not living at the same place where the apartment is but the jurisdiction in any case of dispute will be the same district court.
Hi
Ways of giving valid notice in your case:
1. Registered Post
2. Email
3. WhatsApp
4. Recorded Call
Etc.
You just need to keep the proof that you sent the notice.
I would suggest the registered post
Keep the postal slip with you safely that would be sufficient.
Thanks
You can send same by Registered Post and can also Email and send on whatsapp.
See Use Registered Post Acknowledgement Due(R.P.A.D.) service of Indian Post you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt in same.
Have you given some security, if not than mere intimation to vacate is enough. He accepts or not accepts dose not make any difference. If security is deposited than stop paying rent and get it adjusted with rent amount.
Call, whats app, written intimation all valid.
You can serve him the notice with speed post with AD. He can't say that he didn't receive it. You can in addition send whatsap msg, email and sms to him about the same
The most effective way to serve a notice is through registered Post. You can also send through Email or on WhatsApp .
You send a notice by registered post to his address along with a copy to his office address (if any) and send the same copy by courier service too.
Collect the proof of delivery and the acknowledgment card which will prove that yo have intimated him about vacating the premises
After that you can vacate the premises as per your notice mentioned date and demand the security deposit held by him before delivering the vacant possession.
1. You should send the notice through registered post along with acknowledgement.
2. Yes you can send him notice through whatsapp and call and keep the records with you for future reference.
1. If you know his postal address then send him the notice through a registered post with AD. In case of a registered post there is a presumption of valid service of notice.
2. Notice through telephonic conversation cannot be proved in court, it will be an exercise in futility.
Tenant deposit deductions on vacating the flat: We are planning to vacate the flat soon. As a tenant how can we protect our self that the landlord does not claim inappropriate deductions from the deposit to be returned to us. As a tenant, we made some repairs from our own pocket: -kitchen trolleys -Inverter battery and inverter -Tube lights This was because the the land owner stays in a different far of state. And he was never keen or ready to allow repairs from his own pocket. (total around 7 to 8000 rs) Can we claim this amount from Landlord? At the same time, the Landlord is very keen on any sort of deduction that could be possible on the security deposit kept with him. I am worried that he may claim to deduct for: -Minor paint fades and stains on the walls. -One chandelier(jhumar) Led light is not working. -Just some other excuses to deduct. -The landlord had kept a new gas stove in the flat, which was not supposed to be used. We did not know that. Also, the house agent did not know and told us to use it. So we used it. Now the Landlord wants us to buy a brand new gas stove for them.Or pay for it. This is not even mentioned in the agreement. We have kept the flat in extremely good condition knowing the Landlord's nature. But still feel that the Landlord could find some excuse or other for deducting from our deposit. All in all, how can we as a tenant protect from landlord forcing unjust deductions from our deposit ? How soon after formal vacation or notice should the Landlord legally return the deposit to us ? Thanks

LL will definitely deduct on rubbish grounds. so better stop paying rent. Let is adjusted
Whatever precaution you may take you may not be able to avoid paying some charges towards wear and tear.
The landlord holds your deposit amount and he will conveniently recover that amount from the deposit.
If the demand is unjustified then you may issue a legal notice demanding return of entire deposit amount.
However remember that the legal action would involve more expenses than the deposit amount.
You can take wise decision at right time.
You don’t have to buy brand new gas stove
when any kitchen equipment is kept in the house it is for your usage
claim from landlord money spent by you
enclose supporting bills
Landlord should return deposit at time of vacating premises
Your landlord may deduct from your security deposit for Unpaid rent Repairs for damage.
