India, Nov. 21 -- A tenant's post on Reddit has sparked discussion after he alleged that his landlord unfairly deducted a significant portion of his security deposit. The tenant explained that after living in the rented home for two years, he was shocked to learn that the landlord had withheld Rs.31,000 out of the Rs.44,000 deposit, claiming that the occupants had "ruined" the property.

Taking to Reddit, the tenant wrote, "Long story short, Landlord has sold his house and he is now deducting 31k out of 44k deposite we have given saying you have ruined our place, damaged it. Which is not true. Obviously color gets dull over time. We are living here since 2 years. What are our options?"
