Need a housing expert's view on a rent increase in Abuja FCT

Looking for housing-law advice in Abuja FCT: a withheld security deposit.

My landlord in Abuja has given me a withheld security deposit. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other. I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in Abuja FCT could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect. I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in Abuja FCT would also be appreciated. Thanks for being kind about this.
