You are unlucky to have such a landlord.  On the other hand, deposit is always an arguable question.  Government advise (and I am sure advice from student union as well) deposit from tenants should be put in a funding system (of which landlord cannot access).  Deposit will be returned to students if contract is completed and no damage is made.  In reality, this won’t work for overseas students.  Think about that, on the day the last student (in shared house) moved out and key is handed back, gas/electric meters are read and house is checked.  If everything is okay, landlord or agent has to inform the funding office.  There is some administration work to do and this is England, it will take some time for administration work to complete.  Then remaining deposit will refund to student’s account (no cash) but at that time, student may have cancelled their account and left this country.
I always think this is a clever plot by people thought of this system.  The deposit put in the funding system can only be accessed by students and administration office (landlord cannot access to it) and if students have left this country (in many case this happens), money will remain in the funding system and it keeps accumulated.
Student may ask can they have the deposit back before they move out.  If you are the landlord, will you give the deposit back to students 2 weeks (say) before they move out?  I don’t think so.  If students have the deposit back, they won’t care for the last 2 weeks for any damage, they won’t clean and tidy the house before they leave and they won’t pay for the final bills.
If students and landlord trust each other, they can have mutual agreement before contract is signed so that deposit is not put in the fund.  On the last day they move out, if everything is okay and final bills are deducted from deposit, remaining cash can be returned to students before they leave the UK for good.  I think this is a much better way for overseas students.  For home students, as they still live in this country and their bank account will not be cancelled, funding system is no problem at all.
I hope the above information helps.

谢谢你！正是个印度人，我打算周一去她办公室找她。

我个人认为这完全看房东的人品，你跟房东之间的合同是一张废纸而已，他如果真想扣你的押金，会找很多理由的，你最好再找他商量一下，如果实在不行，可以商量拿一部分，如果你的房东是印度人，你就麻烦了，

。。打错好几个字，我的意思是最后交钥匙走了，他不汇款怎么办呢，感觉很没有安全感，他还不给现金，还是觉得现金最好啊，而且至今那个code也没看见

谢谢你！是呀，但是一直没有给我code，而且你说以后租房子走了，他不会见怎么办呀，难道不都给现金吗？

理论上来说退房了就可以还押金了啊。。。你房东说的不会是西联汇款western union吧？那个貌似是做国际汇款的
