This query is : Resolved
I stayed in flat for 2 years. Landlord painted only one room when I shifted to his house. Now he deducted half cost of complete house painting, stating it should be return as given to you. I fulfilled my agreement and inform him about my shifting well in advance as per mentioned in agreement. But the agreement was valid for 1 year only and for next year landlord didn't signed the agreement.
He is not picking my phone now so that we can have discussion.
Please let me know what options do I have to get my deduction back?

Issue a legal notice through a local lawyer for refund of security deposit, after handing over peaceful vacant possession of demised premises.
Wait for about a month and file a suit for recovery, if you do not get the amount.

Nothing can be said without looking into the conditions contained in the Agreement.
