Doing a quick look-up online, unless the tenant signed a waiver not requiring receipts for the work, the landlord MUST include copies of the receipts, invoices, and good faith estimates. If the landlord fails to do so, he gives up the right to deduct from the deposit.

So, as the anonymous responder above said, if this goes to court you will very likely loose.

Your best bet here would be to ask the ex-tenant to sit down and go over the receipts in person and try to settle on a lower deduction. I personally do not have a problem with doing this because they did do damage to the unit. If they are honest and responsible in any way, they may be willing to give up some of the deposit. However, if they know the legal side and do not care about your loses, it is best that you return the entire security deposit and consider it a costly lesson.
