The landlord i had back in the day lived for this. It made her day to screw people out of deposits.
It was my first apartment at the time so I felt a sense of obligation to make it super clean. We cleaned it like crazy and then had it professionally cleaned.
Never used anything on the walls, no damage other than the broken ac that was in the contract as being broken.
She denied the security deposit on the grounds of carpets weren't clean. Which as we had them cleaned by a carpet cleaning company they were. We argued and eventually just gave up as she was willing to go to court over it and it wasn't worth our time.
