Did your landlord provide a security deposit statement within twenty days as required by law? If not, you can recover twice the amount withheld, plus court and attorney fees. Your landlord should have provided a written statement of what damages were and the cost. Does not matter if a security deposit was collected or not, the statement has to be out in twenty days.

Since you, the tenant, didn't provide the landlord with a forwarding address or the means to contact you after you moved, this only applies to the extent that the landlord can prove they attempted to provide the statement within the required time frame. You not receiving it is your own fault. So, yes, the landlord is within her rights to bill you a year later. Also, damage is almost ALWAYS an accident. That doesn't mean you aren't responsible for repairing it.
