    Dear Client, Any charge that the landlord stipulates in lieu of paint or repair has to be reasonable and proportional to the damage. Send a formal written request to the landlord asking for detailed bills and receipts for the deducted amounts. Try to negotiate with the landlord by providing a counter-estimate from a professional service for painting and other repairs. If negotiations fail, consider sending a legal notice through a lawyer demanding the return of the unjustified portion of the security deposit. If the landlord does not respond or refuses to comply, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. If needed, consulting with a legal professional specializing in tenancy laws can provide more personalized assistance. Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
