While the amounts in controversy are likely small, if you truly documented the damage at move-in (and more importantly still have copies of those records), you have grounds to be able to contest. While you may be liable for legitimate damage, wear and tear is excepted therefrom under Chapter 118A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. You will then have to decide what the value of the time and effort you will expend fighting this is worth to you.

It doesn't sound as if the dollar amounts are likely to be monumental or worthy of much in the way of litigation. Why don't you see if you can resolve it through settlement discussions? Perhaps you can split the difference.
