Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.
Yeah. I can’t think of a single place I rented that I didn’t get my deposit back on.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
I only had one time where they even tried to keep the deposit (out of about 10 or so places, I was in the military, so I moved a bit). I talked to them in person for all of 5 minutes and they gave up and gave it back.

They installed the carpet with the seam down the middle of the living room at my place, then said it was my fault the seam started peeling
Same place tried to charge me for 119 plastic window slats. When I asked my old neighbor (same unit type, 1 floor up) I counted 43 total
I sent them proof of all of this along with the bill for my security deposit and another bit of maintenance I had in writing they’d fix and never did, they suddenly decided to stop hounding me for the bill but never paid. Wasn’t enough to bother in small claims on my end, sadly
Bro thinks he is getting his deposit back crying laughing emoji skull emoji

I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.
I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.
“This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”
Fuck outta here.
You didn’t walk though and document before move-in?

Maybe you just don’t rent in the kinds of places that have shitty landlords.
