Re: deductible value from deposit
You should consult with the terms of your lease to determine the rights and responsibilities in regards to the security deposit. You may request a itemized list of the costs that the security deposit was used for and determine whether it was excessive charged or not.
Good luck.

Re: deductible value from deposit
Unless new paint and carpets were in the lease, you are only responsible for damage you and your guests cause.
Ordinary wear and tear is also landlord's responsibility.
