Deductions in refund of security deposit
I have paid a security deposit of 1.5 lakhs for a studio in Indiranagar, Bangalore. The landlord wants to deduct 20k as painting charges from the deposit. The agreement states that I would have to bear the painting charges, but does not specify the amount. When the agreement was signed, the landlord had said that the painting charges amount to about 2-3k. Is there anything I can do legally to save my hard earned money?
