Security deposit spent on repairs

Simon Says
Posted

Tenant

burns the carpet to the sub floor, 

punched holes in a door,
ripped drywall, 

smoked in the non smoking house

got bong resin all over the bathroom sink so hard to scrub, 

the smell of smoke and curry or cumin impossible to get out had a 4000$ estimate for possible reduction in smell

sub floor $2000 but I didn't get it fixed yet

i repainted it still smells I hired a cleaner I scrubbed it no use!

do I just say to them there is nothing left for me to return from the deposit? 
they obviously traded the place on purpose tried to hide the burns in new carpet they left clothes, 4 lighters snd magic mushrooms in the new dryer had a dog come in without telling me and the HoA fined me when o had no idea then they gave me 5 days notice they we're leaving right before signing for another year, which I'm glad they did go but how do I tell them I had to spend all the 4000 and more In repairs?
