I am living on rent for the last five years in the same house.At the time taking house on rent(five years before)i gave five month rent as security deposit(advance) which landlord have to return whenever i leave the house.Now landlord want to double the amount of security deposit after five years.He want to take the same amount that he has taken before to double the amount as security deposit.This amount can not be detected in rent but will be return whenever i will leave the house.Anybody can tell me the rule of increase in security deposit(advance) when tenant has spent sometime in the house and want to stay more in the same house.I will be grateful
An Increase in security deposit, is usually not normal. If u have kept the said property in good state of care, then the landlord will have no problems. Increase in rent after a agreed period is normal, but increase in security deposit is not.
