Usually while vacating a property, the landlord can deduct some amount if he/she sees any kind of damage to the property. While finalizing the rental agreement, both the parties can mention the inclusions under the ‘wear and tear’ section. You can decide on ‘Anything above 500 rupees should be taken care of by the landlord like plumbing. anything below 500 rupees can be taken care of by the tenant such as electrical work.’
The entire amount is usually returned by the owner if there is small wear and tear which is bound to happen. But, sometimes, some landlords refuse to return a specific amount by attributing it to ‘wear and tear’. If you feel that the amount is unreasonable, you can get the things repaired instead of the landlord doing it. So this way, you can get the entire deposit amount back and your landlord can not refuse to return it.

How can I ensure that my landlord does not misuse the terms in the rental agreement? E.g. discretionary deductions while vacating, refusal to pay for major repair activites by attributing it to 'wear and tear', etc.
