How to claim the security deposit from the landlord after leaving the property?

A landlord agent, after failing to live up to the terms of my monthly rentals agreement, including not making repairs, said I could vacate the property before the end of the lease if I want and he will return the deposit.

After I moved out, he turn around stiff me with my deposit claiming that I broke the lease for moving out before lease expiration. What is my legal recourse?

As per the law, you can vacate the property by serving the written notice as per the contract.

Is the communication regarding the early exit is written communication?

If yes you can address your concern to RDC with the supporting documents and you can file a complaint.

Yes, I have a contract. And he used it as a reason to keep my deposit even though he sent me a message that it is ok that I vacate and he will return the deposit
