what is the statute of limitations for a landlord to send an itemized bill to a tenant once a lease has ended. my lease is unclear on this issue and i received an itemized bill two months after i terminated my lease.

By law, you should have notified your landlord of your intent to terminate your lease 30-days prior to departure or relinquishing the dwelling.
The purpose of 30-days notice is to give the landlord sufficient time to take any necessary to inspect and secure the premises and/or release the security deposit prior to your departure.
No itemized bills or any other actions should be taken after relinquish the property or dwelling.
If the landlord issued an itemized bill connected to the dwelling for repairs it may an attempt to withhold your security deposit in lewd of filing a claim for this court.
You did not mention this notice to the landlord or the need for repairs so I recommend that you resolve any dispute in court. Including this itemized bill. I hope this helps.
