Reg: security deposit is deducted before vacating the house

Triguna Mutuguppe Sripathi (Querist) 01 February 2019 This query is : Resolved
Hi,

I want to understand if there is any law about how much money can be deducted from the security deposit?

I am still at the premises and owner is asking for more than the expected amount to be cut from security deposit and here are the details.

House is located in Sanjaya Nagar and rented at 16500/- for a 2 bhk independent house in 2nd floor.
Security Deposit transferred to owner is 1,25,000/-.

However following is what is claimed by Owner while we wanted to vacate on Feb 9th 2019.
Rent - 16500
Feb - 4400
Bescom - 950 - we usually get a bill of 929 or 939 for past 3 months
Water - 750 - we usually pay only 400 or so but owner is claiming this time they got water tank multiple times which is not true.
Waste - 200
Tank Cleaning - 500 - We never asked to clean the tank and owner says its done for hygiene and says will do for every six month.
Painting - 17,000 - Owner herself told that painting is done 2 years back, however we are in this house only for 10 months,
Toilet acid cleaning - 2000 - We clean the toilet every week
House cleaning - 1000
Plumbing - 500 - there is no problem with plumbing also whatever the problems are there, we have corrected after coming to the house inspite of problems were there when we asked its been told that you are inside the house and we will not give money (200/-)
Kent - 580 - This is only fitting charges...

So total amount claimed as 44,380/- and will be getting only 80,620/-.

We spoke to her but she is not ready to liste. Is there a way to save our hard earned money?

Amicably sorting it out with the help of persons respected by land lord would be the best remedy. Any legal actions would be Expensive and Time Consuming for both the Sides.
