A landlord keeping the deposit is one of the most common messages we get from India. The useful part is not a promise that the money comes back — it is the exact provision that sets the rights and liabilities of lessor and lessee, and the official text behind it.

Our page cites the Transfer of Property Act provision from the verified corpus, with the official link. No model paraphrase, no invented deadlines.
