A landlord can only deduct certain items from a security deposit. The landlord can deduct for: Cleaning the rental unit when a tenant moves out, but only to make it as clean as when the tenant first moved in. Repairing damage, other than normal wear and tear, caused by the tenant and the tenant's guests.
Examples of damage resulting from normal wear and tear include faded paint, faded hardwood flooring, scratched windows, and stained bath fixtures. Damage, on the other hand, refers to the destruction that occurs on a property due to negligence.

If the landlord doesn't return the entire security deposit within 21 days or the tenant doesn't agree with the deductions they can write a letter asking the landlord to return the security deposit. The tenant should keep a copy of the letter for their records.
