Indian law recognizes subletting if it’s explicitly permitted in your lease agreement. You have the right to remove your furniture upon moving out, but your landlord may withhold it if you owe him rent or have damaged the property. Consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options based on the specific details of your lease agreement.

My family and I signed a lease agreement with the father of the homeowner, but the electricity bill for the past three years is in his name. I paid a full deposit of 6.5 lakhs to him, but due to a medical emergency with my wife, we couldn’t move in. I immediately informed the landlord about this and asked to cancel the lease. He’s returned 4 lakhs, but is holding back the remaining 2.5 lakhs, asking for more time. What legal options do I have to recover the remaining amount? How long would this process take, and what are the estimated costs involved?

A tenant in my shop has only given 2 weeks’ notice before leaving, instead of the agreed 1 month. They also haven’t paid their last month’s rent/electricity bill. They’ve handed over the keys, but I’m left with unpaid bills. I’ve asked them to sign a letter acknowledging this, but they refuse and demand their full deposit back, even after deducting only 2 weeks’ worth of costs. Should I hold onto their deposit until they sign, or pay them what I think is fair and risk being sued? How easy is it for them to win a legal case in this situation?
