Landlord not paying back the deposit Landlord not paying back the deposit

5 years ago

I lived in a rented apartment. I paid 20000 as deposit when I took the apartment. Now, I left the apartment on 15.12.2017. My landlord asked me to serve one month's notice, which I did. When I asked for my deposit, they asked to clear the electricity bill which was 500. I left that place hoping that he would transfer the amount but he called after a week to tell me that the electricity bill was 17000 and I had to pay. I had already paid the bill and that is what I told him. He remains adamant and says that first I have to clear the bill and then he will transfer the amount to me. What an I do in this case? I have already paid the bill so it hardly makes any sense. Plz help.
