I signed a 1 year contract in August 2022 to August 2023 . It was 10,000 in advance, and 20,000 deposit.
The rent I pay is 10,000 a month. As I have changed jobs I need to more to another location. August 2023 I told her I would extend but there was no talk about the deposit. And this was just a verbal agreement so no contract was signed to extend.
I have spoken to the owner to give her notice and she said that I will not get my 20,000 back as I would have to wait until August 2024. I explained that I have completed the contract for the first year.
Just a side question I paid 1 month in advance on the first day I moved in along with the 20,000.
i.e. 1st August 10,000 + 20,000. August 31 I paid my first months rent.
My final day would be 31 March. So I would not need to pay for this month as I paid 10,000 in advanced?
Thanks for any suggestions,
