Returning Tenant Deposit

[Nicholas Natale]

Hi friends, 

I bought my first duplex a little over two years ago and now I have my first tenant ever moving out. The issue here is that they painted parts of my kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are factory white, but now I can clearly see the damage and brush strokes. I am assuming they painted them with white paint to try and cover something up. In my opinion they ruined this kitchen. I am not sure what to do here. Also food was left behind and the home was filthy. I paid someone to clean which I would deduct from the deposit.

Need some advice. 

Thanks
