Landlord not returning security deposit after taking the possession of the flat

Mithilesh Kumar Gupta (Querist) 19 June 2014 This query is : Resolved
I have taken a flat in Noida on company's lease and stayed for 30 months. Initially, the landlord had taken two month's rent as security deposit (though not in the lease agreement) to be returned on vacating and handing over the flat back to him. The money was paid by a cheque and a receipt was taken from the landlord. Flat was handed over to him on 31.05.2014 but he has not returned the security deposit. He is claiming that there is lot of damage to the flat. Which is actually not. There is only normal wear & tear. Moreover in the handing over/possession letter also he has not mentioned any damage. My query is
1. How to get back the security amount ?
2. Can I approach Consumer Forum, Noida for getting the money back from the landlord ?

Kindly advise.
