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?

Since the landlord breached the lease agreement by trying to sell the property without your consent, you have grounds to challenge the one-month notice to vacate and seek full deposit return. You can file a complaint with the Rent Controller under the Rent Control Act of your state, outlining the breach and seeking redress.
