Vacating a rental flat

(Querist) 08 July 2009 This query is : Resolved 
We have moved into a rented house in May09. It has been just two months and our owner has served us with a one month notice (as per a clause in the leave and licence agreement) to vacate as the owner is planning to move back in the house. We have made a lot of expenses while moving here just two months back, which include movers & packers, brokerage plus additional expenses like getting the address changes done for gas connection, setting up the cable connection, carpenter work, a/c installation, etc. The total of all our costs would amount to a minimum of 25k. Although the agreement does mention a one month notice and hence the owners are right in their place, are we entitled to ask them for any compensation as we will have to make all the above expenses again. We are dire need of some advice in this regard, would appreciate response asap. Thanks

Dear Urvi,

Send a reply notice to him as stating that at present we are not in position to vacate that premises.

Dear Sanjeev,

Thanks for your reply.Unfortunatlye, I realise that the agreement is not favouring us here, considering it has a one month notice clause and nothing about a compensation in case either party decides to terminate it in less than 6 months. Yet, ethically we dont think it is right that we have to bear all the financial as well other losses. Even if we send such a notice, they are not ready to accept it and want us to move without any compensation or additional time.

Legally speaking you have no right to stay after the notice which is legal. But if you want to stay, you may stay and wait for the landlord's further action. But you must be strong enough, if the landlord adpots tactics like sending gundas or makes other kind of tamasha. If you are not that strong, better to vacate.
