Dear Sir,

First and foremost, you ought to have paid the money which may have comprised of interest free Security Deposit and / or the 11 months monthly compensation in advance, directly to the Owner, and not to the agent. Now since the Agreement for Leave and License (ALL) has already expired, and if it is not renewed by the Owner, you are a deemed trespasser in the flat. You should immediately get in touch with the Owner directly, look for another flat and tell the Owner to return back your remaining amount net of recoveries on account of pending dues, if any.

Regards,
