What's usually fair

Fair: unpaid rent and bills, and the actual cost of repairing damage beyond normal use, backed by bills.

Worth questioning: full repainting after a normal stay, fixed "cleaning charges" not in your agreement, replacing old items that simply wore out, and any deduction without a bill.
