I live in Bangalore and my rental agreement ended on 9 Dec. My landlord informed me on 5 Dec that new rent will be hiked more than 15% but rental agreement mentioned only 5%.
I messaged him and tried contacting me but he got back on 13 Dec and he said max he will reduce it by 500. Two days before I told him I will vacate the flat by end of this month and he started speaking in a way to threaten me.
Told me I should inform 2 months prior if I am leaving but my agreement has already expired so this should not be valid.
He threatened that he will cut two months rent in deposit this way.
Now I don’t know what to do
There should be rental laws in Bangalore like Hyderabad where deposit should be not more than 2 months of rent. These guys keep on harassing us.

Just go to the police station with a properly written complaint, Agreement of leave and license and any other supporting proofs.

Approach the SP directly and get your complaint dispatched, and ask them to help you.

Had you taken flat through any broker ?

1. Get an advocate

2. File a cheating complaint against the landlord.

3. Have the landlord pay you back the deposit + legal fees incurred in return for taking back the complaint.

4. Live peacefully

Is there anything written on the rental agreement about the 2 months prior notice? Anyways 1 month prior notice is more than enough.

Yes it is written but does it even hold when he abruptly increases rent more than 15% and rental agreement has expired.

Rental agreement clearly mentions 5% increment of rent. He informed me two days prior of expiry of agreement that he will increase it by 15%+ . Why am I forced to live for 2 month notice when he can willingly increase rent anytime he wants
