You can use the lease agreement as a part of your evidence plus all the receipts you have for the repairs in which you paid. With regards to your security deposit your landlord cannot withhold it and even deduct it without giving you an itemized list of all the repairs he made that is beyond normal wear and tear and the receipts of the things he changed or bought to fix the so-called repairs. If you decide to file a lawsuit you may have a big chance of winning. Good luck!
