Explain a Landlord's Deposit Deduction Breakdown When You Disagree With the Charges

The tenancy has ended, the deposit should be coming back, and instead there is an itemised list of deductions for cleaning, damage and a repaint that looks steeper than it should. This explains each charge in plain English and separates fair wear and tear from genuine damage, so you know which lines are worth challenging.

**Explain** the deduction breakdown line by line:
1. State what each charge is actually for, in plain English
2. Note where a charge looks like fair wear and tear rather than damage (fair wear and tear is not deductible)
3. Flag any charge that lacks a clear explanation, receipt or before-and-after evidence
4. Suggest, in one line per item, what information would be reasonable to ask the landlord for
