Security Deposit for Georgia

Hello,

I put down a security deposit o$1000 on a house that I rented. My landlord had detailed damages and late fees of $1800. Am I legally obligated to pay the $1800 or can he just keep the $1000 and call it even? I never had a walkthrough and this is the only house he rents.
