I am living in India on student visa and I have been living in a hostel in Kolkata for a month. Before renting I clearly told them that I’d only be living for 2 or 3 months. However, they put 6 months lockin period on the bill and my sister didn’t put much attention to it thinking I would be able to vacate after 2 months. When I notified that I’d be vacating after 3 months after living in that hostel for a week they refused saying that they wouldn’t give back the security deposit of 7.5k. Also they have started harrassing me and their words do not match their actions.

I also needed FRRO upon 14 days arrival. And they are also refusing to give me a rental agreement for below 6 months. Without rental agreement I wouldn’t be able to register an FRRO and I’ll be charged penalty for every additional day. I have only finished one month. And now living in constant panic about what to do… As any legal consequences might cause the revocation of my visa. I need advice on what to do.

Also whether it would be okay to not give rent for 15 days in a month and leave to at least redeem half of my security deposit. If I do it will they take any action against me? They still keep denying even though they have clients willing to replace me. What should I do? Urgent help needed
