Take them to court. You will win as long as you have receipts showing what was repaired and can justify the costs deducted from the deposit. You can also deduct the unpaid rent from the deposit if there is enough to cover it, or add it to the expenses on the itemized list.

You will most likely win if your paperwork is in order. I don't know why tenants think that they can win by going to court. Keep your paperwork straight with receipts for repairs, pictures and documentation and the courts will find in your favor. The problem is they don't enforce the collection of the judgement.! So getting the money will be your real problem after you win in court.
