My landlord promised to return my two-month security deposit after I moved out. But despite multiple emails, I haven’t gotten any confirmation on when I’ll receive my money. I’m really hoping for some help – I’m even willing to pay a small fee for a 30-minute consultation.

In India, a landlord is legally obligated to return your security deposit within a reasonable timeframe after you vacate the property. You can send a legal notice demanding the return of your deposit and if that doesn’t work, you can file a case in the Rent Control Court.
