[quote=devika;11835]Dear friends
Would like to know if deposit paid to the landlord while renting a flat can be adjusted against rent.
I have paid a deposit (10 months rent) while renting the flat 4 years ago-the stipulated 4 year period ends in July. Do I have to pay the rent for the 7 months up to July or can it be adjusted against the deposit.The rent agreement stated a 10% increase in rental every year and all that has been duly paid up till now.
Friends -Urgent advice needed.

Yes. You can adjust the advance given against the rent to be paid till you vacate. However, you may have to inform the owner about this.
