5 CA tenant/landlord questions for a pro!

Hello friends! As a renter, I have a few really important questions.....

1) Here in Los Angeles, if I paid a $2000 security deposit and my damages upon moving- out were more than $2000, can the landlord invoice me for the difference?

2) Does my landlord have to provide me details of the materials and labor (itemized) for the damages by law?

3) I signed a lease agreement that charged me an upfront pet charge (along with my security deposit) of $400 listed as a non refundable pet deposit. Is that really enforceable?

4) Can a landlord include miscellaneous stipulations in my rental agreement including: Tenant pays and is responsible for all incedentals up to $150? (ie: clogged drains, appliance repairs, etc) 

5) Can a property manager charge a "move-in" and "move-out" fee?  Apparently, this "fee" is charged to hang a padded blanket in the elevator to prevent potential damage from furniture, etc? Can I get out of such a ridiculous charge?

Thank you and stay safe!
