How do you justify on how much to give back on the security deposit if they did not clean up when they left

how much did it cost to hire a clean up crew? take the difference.

Also add in disposal or storage of items. Make sure all their bills that are attached to the property (ie you will be on the hook for) are paid.

How long did it take you to clean it up? Pay yourself the hourly rate.

@Simon W. What if I did the clean up myself?
