Hello guys, I have my refundable security deposit with the Landlord of the bldg. where I previously stayed. Unfortunately, only 25% of it will be refunded back to me due to so many charges he imposed ie painting, etc. when in fact it should be their job to repaint the flat for the new occupant. Can someone advise me what I need to do to collect my deposit back? Thanks!

@livefunasia: thanks! But do u think the owner settlement committe will decide on my favour? To be honest, I dnt wanna go for this action but if I won't get my dep back, I might as well complain to higher authorities. @elias: thanks as well. @ron: u know I have done the touched up painting of the apartment before I left. I have cleaned the flat as well. This landlord is just too much really! My deposit is 10K and they're going to deduct like QR 8000?

Simply Dont accept , because deposit check is against any damage might occur for the apartment made by you .

They are trying to rip you off , just tell them you will go to tenants court about this issue .

You lived tehre , and they have to repaint it at your cost , because you were the last occupant.
