Landlord had to give you accounting within 30 days after last day of lease with deductions from deposit. If not, landlord forfeits right to keep any of deposit, and forfeits right to go after you for alleged damages to property. If he did give 30-day notice, probably have to fight him in metro or magistrate court over whether damage charges are legitimate.
