Security Deposit Refund Request: Fill & Download for Free

We’ve all probably heard about the epically silly, stupid and outdated laws like “In Louisiana it’s illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant after 8:00 PM” but thinking about and defining “clever” is a lot more difficult. I’ll approach the definition of “clever” as a law that is (relatively) clearly written, easily enforced and encourages the wrongdoer to behave like a good citizen. One that I like is the Texas landlord/tenant law regarding security deposits.Since tenants usually have disparate bargaining power where landlords are concerned, under Texas law, if the tenant does what he/she is supposed to - gives appropriate notice, leaves the premises in good condition and tells the landlord where to send the security deposit refund - the landlord has 30 days to comply or send a written, detailed list of all problems/reasons why the entire security deposit isn’t being refunded. If the landlord fails to do that, after 30 days is up, the landlord is “presumed” to be acting in bad faith, the tenant has a right to seek 3 times the amount of the security deposit, plus attorney’s fees. At that point the landlord can make all the noise it wants about what a horrible condition the property was in, etc. but the presumption works against them and those arguments, by and large, get them nowhere.So, when the landlord tries to withhold the security deposit and ignores the tenants’ request for the refund, one letter (to which I usually attach a copy of the statute) and you can (usually) get the tenant their security deposit in full plus a little extra for the time and trouble. I actually had to do this for myself (I guess the landlord forgot he was renting to a lawyer) - it might have been karma but less than 6 months later, before it was re-rented, Harvey hit and that townhouse ended up with 3 1/2 feet of water on the first floor.Not sure if that fits the “clever” definition you were looking for but it’s a good law, easy to understand, and handles a situation that is all-to-often abused by property owners.

I have cancelled the connection 2 months back. Till now I have not received the refund.They are even not bothered to pick up the router from my place. Whenever I call customer care, they say that once the router is recovered, they will process my refund. But, every time they schedule a pickup for router, but no one comes for the pick up.The same thing is going on from 2 months. I have raised around 10 request for the pickup. The worst part is that every request that I raised, is resolved without any kind of communication with me.Edit:I lodged a complaint on National Consumer helpline via Umang app. After that I got my refund in 2 weeks. It looks like if you want the refund then just lodge the complaint straightaway, else customer care will just keep fooling you and nothing will be done.

Booking an entire coach for journey is way more expensive than you think.Lets talk about the cost first and then the procedureSo there are 3 types of charges you'll be charged and the first one is refundable as it will be a security deposit. So lets have a look at them.You'll need to deposit a sum of about Rs25000 (this could be upto 1 lakh) per coach as Registration Money cum Security Deposit (RMSD)Your ticket tarrif will be from the station train origins to the destination station you want to go. It doesnt matter from where you board the train. The tickets will be charged from the sourcing station.You'll be then charged coach shipping from your destination station to the station from where coach was added to the train (in most cases its the source station)So now you must be thinking why do they charge this much, instead they should give a bulk booking discount. But things dont work like this. When you book an entire couch you're not given an existing couch from the train, instead an extra couch (your coach) is added to the train.Procedure for bookingYou'll need to give a written application to Indian Railway at least 45 days before the journey date. With the below things mentionedPurpose of JourneyDate of JourneyTrain NoClass (e.g. 3rd AC, 2nd AC etc.)Number of passengers travellingNumber of Coaches requiredAfter your application is approved you'll need to deposit the full amount either through demand draft, online payment or cash in favor of IRCTC Ltd., New Delhi along with a passengers list giving the following details:NameAgeSexContact NoPassport no, in case of foreign touristThe RMSD amount will be refunded to the party after the successful completion of the journey along with the Stamped Folder duly attested by the Station Superintendent/Master and it is checked that there is no damage of any nature has been done in the coach. In order to claim RMSD, the party need to deposit original ticket and stamped folder (Provided by Indian Railway before Journey) with a request letter after completion of the tour.NOTE: A perk of booking entire coach is that Indian Railway gives you a chance to transfer about 10–15 tickets per coach to another name (another passenger). Which is not possible generally.
