Owner denying to payback the deposit money

Legal Advice Needed
  • Paid deposit in Aug 2023
  • 11-month agreement expired, continued month-to-month
  • No written notice of rent hike/guest penalties
  • Landlord now deducting:
    • painting charges despite continued occupancy by flatmate
    • retroactive rent increase
    • guest/partner penalty never agreed to
  • Asking: “Are these deductions legal under Indian tenancy law, and what are my options to recover my deposit?”
