I do not agree with the previous person, that they have to provide you with a written notice. You did not give a forwarding address, nor did you notify the landlord that you were out. if they are only charging you for the items you should have taken care of when you left, you are lucky. They can also charge you for any attorney fees, and money it cost to track you down.
Regardless, if there were a Security Deposit paid, then yes, there are 20 days for the landlord to refund the security deposit. No deposit, they have 3 years to notify you of the bill. Seeing you did not leave forwarding address, that might be extended based on when the landlord found out your new address. Not sure why you wouldn't do the walk thru with the LL?? Sounds sneaky. And since you did not give the LL the keys, and access to the house, you could be charged with another months rent because you didn't give them the access they needed. Pay the cleaning and keying and damage. You are responsible, and they are within their timeline.
