I’ve been renting a place in West Delhi for a while now. I’ve never met my landlord, only his friend who collects the rent. The house has a lot of problems that need fixing, but I haven’t been able to reach the landlord. Recently, someone came by claiming to be the landlord, but when I mentioned the repairs, he got rude and said he wouldn’t do anything. What can I do about this?

My landlord, who we signed a 2-year lease with through a broker, started showing our flat to other potential tenants just six months into the lease, after the initial lock-in period. We later learned they were trying to sell the property but rented it out because they couldn’t find a buyer. They assured us verbally of a two-month notice period, and we supported them. But now, they say they can’t sell and have given us one-month notice to vacate. We’ve heard they’re not returning full deposits to tenants. What legal options can we explore to ensure we get our full deposit back?
