Landlord Harassment — Landlord deducting a lot of amount from security deposit

Address:

560037

I was living in a 3bhk along with my two other friends. The security deposit was 1.5 Lacs. We gave a 3 months notice and vacate the apartment. Since the owner was in UK she send someone to collect the key and verify if the house is in good condition. He checked everything, took the key from us and said that everything is cleared from his side. Still owner didn't refund our security saying that she will come back and inspect everything once more after 10 days. When she came back she started making useless damage list and cutting huge amount for minor repairs. She even charged 15k for kitchen renovation because of the rust in the shelf. Rent agreement said that one month rent (30k) will be deducted from deposit and extra if any repair is needed. But she is charging us for normal wear and tear that occur like the chipping and rust. Also, she is charging us for things that were broken when we took the apartment claiming that it was not broken before. In total she deducted 54k from 1.5Lacs.
