If the owner is unreasonably asking you to vacate in violation of lease agreement, You can refuse by sending appropriate legal notice. We have to see the agreement ( you can send the same as scanned file to me at [email protected]) to see what are OTHER DEDUCTIONS that you may have to pay to get back your deposit( Many Bangalore landlord put conditions like deduction for painting ( even if they dont paint!!!), deduction of rent up to month end ( even if you vacate on 2nd day of the month) and EXTRA month rent as penalty !!! etc.. all these you can avoid by sending legal notice.
