Dear Questioner,

As per the relevant law, the landlord has to return the security deposit when the tenant returns the home in the exact same condition.

I believe you can dispute this matter in the RERA. Let the landlord prove that the changes were made by you.

From the facts described above, both parties don't have any proof to show their case. The court has to decide based on the available evidence.

Thank you.
