Bengaluru Tenants Report Security Deposit Deductions and Rental Deal Cancellation
A Bengaluru tenant claims his landlord withheld approximately ₹1.11 lakh from a ₹1.3 lakh security deposit after vacating a 3BHK villa in Bidadi, returning only about ₹19,000. The tenant acknowledged a painting obligation in the rental agreement but questioned the high deductions and lack of clear bills or itemized calculations. Additionally, ₹16,000 was deducted as last month's rent despite mid-month vacating. Another tenant faced a cancelled rental deal after paying a token, linked to a brokerage dispute, leaving them without accommodation.
