Agent has no right to deduct anything, only landlord can do so if they have a case. If you feel that deposit has been wrongly deducted, you can file small claims against the landlord at Small Claims Tribunal. Read More

Hi there,

- If the electrical costs were not explicitly mentioned in your rental contract, the agent or landlord cannot legally deduct that from your security deposit.
- You should ask the agent for a detailed breakdown of the deductions and clarify which specific terms in the agreement justify the charges.
- If there is no clear clause regarding electrical costs, you can negotiate a refund or come to an agreement based on the actual usage or evidence provided.
- If this doesn’t resolve amicably, you might consider reaching out to the Small Claims Tribunal for further assistance.

Thank you.

If your agent is deducting a security deposit for electrical costs not specified in the contract, here’s how you can address the situation:

1. **Review the Lease Agreement:** Carefully check your lease agreement to see if there are any clauses regarding deductions from the security deposit. Ensure that electrical costs are not mentioned or included in the terms.

2. **Discuss with the Agent:** Reach out to your agent for clarification. Explain that the deduction for electrical costs was not outlined in the contract, and ask for a breakdown of the charges.

3. **Negotiate:** If the agent insists on the deduction, negotiate with them. Emphasize that any deductions should be clearly stated in the agreement and that you were not made aware of these costs when signing.

4. **Seek Legal Advice:** GO TO SMALL COURT CLAIM ,.... FILE COMPLAINT AGAINST AGENT IF AGENT IN MALPRACTICE ,...
