Dewan Housing Finance Corporation [DHFL] — House owner not returning security deposit

Address:

Mahesh Reddy Building, #135/75,3rd Main road, 5th floor ,503,Lakshmi Narayana Layout, Munnekolala, Marthahalli Post, Bangalore -560037 , Phone Number of Owner: 9986575993

My self anil kadiri from bengaluru. I had taken rented flat on 01 october 2019 in mahesh reddy building, #135/75, 3rd main road, 5th floor, 503, lakshmi narayana layout, munnekolala, marthahalli post, bangalore -560037, phone number of owner: [protected] for the rent of 11000 per month with deposite amount 40000/-

Owner name is mr. N. Mahesh reddy, there are multiple reasons and issue with the flat for vacating, i have informed the owner on 26th feb 2020 saying that i will vacate flat by 31 march 2020. Due to covid19 and lockdown, i have vacated flat on 30th may 2020 and the same communicated with the owner clearly on call and sms. As per the rental agreement, i have noticed on time about vacating flat.

After vacating flat on 30th may 2020 i have asked for a security deposit from the owner and he said will return in a couple of days and almost 47 days got completed he is not picking the call and not communicating any concrete date for the return of my deposit amount and finally, he picked the call today 15 july 2020 and saying go and compliant at the police station i don't care.

Luckily i have done all the transactions online payment of rent and deposit amount with proper rental agreement certificate no: in-ka[protected]r and all the communication happened through the sms and whatsapp for evidence.

Could you please take some action and do justice in my case.

Reasons for vacating flat :
Its 5 floors building due to some legal violation in construction no electricity given for each flat and common meter for all and we have to pay 500/- fixed and owner didn't communicate this thing when came to flat later go to know from neighbor and security guard and started paying 11000+500 =11500. My mistake is i haven't checked the electricity meter for an individual flat and never expected this type of case before coming to the flat.

I have seen lift not working and asked for status before paying a security deposit. The owner replied we are getting a separate meter for power lift in 1-3 days before you come we will arrange to lift.

Finally, no lift and after close followup for a month in whatsup got to know owner is telling the same false story to all the tenant to fill the flats.

Finally, the conclusion is i am not getting my security deposit from the owner even after completing 47 days after vacating. Please do some justice.
