House Owner — deducting huge amount from deposit.

Address:560078

Dear Sir,
Bangalore JP Nagar 5th Phase.
Me and my husband staying in rental house with a rent amount 13, 000/- and 75, 000/- security deposit which is clearly mentioned in rental agreement.
We stayed here for 5 months and serving 3 months notice period due to moving to another city which was not aware before. Moving to another city is not just the reason for vacating the house, Reasons are mentioned below.
1. The owner is refusing to give his account details for depositing the rent amount, we are forced to give it in cash.
2. The owner refused to give PAN card details as per income tax rules.
3. Owners wife is harassing us by commenting while going to office, commenting on my friends while visiting the house.
4. When we taken the house it was in pathetic condition and they where not ready to clean it and we complained this to the broker and he arranged cleaning lady to clean it. She cleaned it for 500/-
5. The entire stair case and balconies where not cleaned since months before we came and the owners wife is forcing to keep a maid which we were ready for, and the maid is charging 2500/- as per her advice, every where else maids are charging 1500/- for cleaning.
6. Water charges for 2 o[censored]s is 800 rs and the entire charge is divided equally. The owners family have more than 5-6 members and frequent visitors.
7. Most of the time water was not available, even after truing on the water motor, water doesn't comes after long hours. Water supply is stopped from some where else.
8. Electricity bill when we dint had a single electronics was 1000/- after complaining to the owner it came down to 200/-.
9. The house location is quite inside and feels unsafe after 6 pm. No proper street light and my office some time extents till 9pm.
10. After approaching the owner about relocating to another city. The harassment even increased by saying will not return a single rupee of deposit.
11. Every day evening we are discussing to the owner for our situation which is not getting consider rather they are demanding more.
Demands
1. Replace another tenant, then will not deduct 13., 000/- brokerage from the deposit.
2. Only family is accepted - As the house is in 2nd floor no family is ready to take the house and the owner is well aware about the fact and he rented 3rs floor to bachelors.
3. Now the rent is 13, 000/-, coming tenant should pay 13, 500/-.
4. In agreement it is mentioned that 3 months notice period need to be served for breaking 1 year agreement.
We served 3 months notice period, Now owner is demanding another 3 months notice period because he dint want to accept the previous 3 months notice period.
5. The mosaic floor where not polished and outer side of building was not painted when we came. Now they are demanding money for both of it and deduction a sum of 20, 000/- .

After the decision with owner to vacate the house, we started recording every single conversation with the owner. We really feel unsafe to stay at the house and feel some one visits the house without our presence. The owner must have another key which can open our house and we are really worried about this.
We really need help.
