I say this because his lease agreement isn’t providing specific items, those missing items are just as important to him as they are to you as a renter. Also, most states have statutes and laws that protect how deposits are handled. I would fight this by sending a certified letter demanding full and prompt refund of your entire deposit. If that doesn’t work you should try landlord tenant mediation or small claims court. Based on what you’ve sid the landlord doesn’t have any right to keep any portion of your deposit.

The Rental Protection Agency provides mediation for just the cost of their filing fee. (It’s only $35) For problems dealing with so much money, it only makes sense to do something. You have right to question theses charges, I would. It doesn’t sound like the landlord is justified in keeping the money.
