Property Management Keeping entire Security Deposit - See below - San Diego

[Donald Paul]

My daughter has lived in an apartment for 10 years.  She just moved out.  The unit was left broom clean and all appliances were cleaned.  She did a walk through with the owner before leaving.  The owner has just hired a property management company who is now handling the unit and these repairs.

The property management company called her and asked her how much the security deposit was. Coincidentally the list of repairs they emailed her equals the amount of her security deposit.  See below:

These items all seem like maintenance items that should be done to an apartment after someone has lived there for 10 years.  She should not be paying the cost to update the unit for the next tenant.  By the way the sink replacement cost is ridiculous because the landlord just replaced in within the last year!

Does anyone have knowledge on California law for tenants regarding security deposits or thoughts on what she should do?

@Donald Paul you're getting some good advice from @Greg Scott, but I'm looking at this another way...

If what you say is true, and the owner hired the PMC AFTER the owner did the final walk-thru with your daughter, then the PMC has no legal right to request this money from your daughter!

Recommend demanding the owner follow California laws regarding handling of security deposit charges & refund or threaten the owner with lawsuit - many states allow double or triple damages against landlords/PMCs that don't properly follow the laws.

@Greg Scott, what do you think about this?
