Can My Landlord Charge More In A Security Deposit After I Move Out?

I paid a $500 security deposit for a studio apartment in Florida. My landlord is deducted the following from my security deposit: Carpet cleaning=$62.00, Tick Flea killer=$20.00, Painting Walls/Cleaning=$150.00, paint and supplies=$35.00, install Vanity and Vinyl=$250.00, and Vanity and Faucet=$105.00. A total of $632.00. She is now asking for a check for $132.00. Am I required to pay it?

    No,unless you cause damages to the apartment,he souldn't charge more in a security deposit,or you can take her to court.

      I don't even understand all these charges did you ruin the vanity, with just normal wear and tear, the paint is part of what the landlord is suppose to do after each tenant it should be painted, what's with the faucet, looks as if they are getting you to redo the apartment, and going to keep your deposit, WOW did you wreck the place.......the best to you and the $132.00 would never come from me no way......
