LHi all,
I need some legal advice regarding my current situation at a PG in Hyderabad. Here’s what happened:
I had informed the PG management that I would be leaving this month, and we had previously agreed on a departure date of 23rd April.
I had also security deposit of Rs 4000, which I requested to be either adjusted against this month’s rent or refunded once I left.
Instead of honoring this discussion, the PG management had a heated discussion with me, accusing me of not trusting them.
Following this confrontation, they suddenly gave me only 2 days’ notice to vacate the premises.
They have already collected Rs 2000 for this month’s rent (with the remaining amount being Rs 9000).
Given this scenario, is it legally acceptable for the PG to change the agreed terms and evict me with such short notice?
Any guidance or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

MIf you had a verbal or written agreement (even over WhatsApp or SMS) about vacating on 23rd April, then they can’t suddenly cut that short without valid reason or mutual consent. Even if there’s no formal rental agreement, the basic principles of tenancy law still apply. You are a licensee (common in PGs), and even then, a reasonable notice period (typically 15 to 30 days) is expected for eviction unless you’ve breached serious rules.
