We're looking for a place in that area and my sister zeroed in on that building. It was overall a bad experience. The owner wouldn't receive calls when needed and his security personnel was worst. A week back when we had some problem with the shower and asked him to fix it, he sent a guy. But the guy left as soon as I said the cost will be borne by owner. And the owner then texted us 5 new conditions including any minor repairs is on us on the pretext that he forgot to add those terms in the agreement. Before that his security personnel also misbehaved with us and wasn't cooperating in any way. So we decided to shift and communicated the same to the owner. He said that as per the agreement we've to give one month's notice or to buy out notice period and some other charges as well, making clear of his intention that he isn't gonna give us a penny from our security deposit. So we said we'll serve the notice period vacating the building by January end and he can deduct December and January month's rent amounting to 20k from the deposit and can keep the rest 10k for refurbishing purposes as mentioned in the agreement (even though we just stayed for 3 months and there's no damage and no repainting needed ). But he is insisting we pay the rent for December saying that our due is beyond the security deposit. I clearly know he is planning to keep all the amount to himself.
