Tenant unhappy about not getting deposit back

[Eric D.]

Hello,

I had my home rented out for about a year and a half, the Tenant signed the lease agreement in may of 12, the lease reverts to month by month after 1 year is up.

Anyway, she did not give me proper notice, the lease says 60 days by certified mail, she gave me less than 30 verbally. To make things more difficult I have moved to a different area, so I had to fly in fix the place back up which ended up being a very costly deal.

I let her know I would be holding the deposit to cover damages (materials & labor) and since she left on the 15th I would be nice enough to return half of her last months rent. She is still very unhappy, trying to make me feel like i'm just ripping her off. (she breached the contract so legally I don't owe her a penny)

So my questions:

1. What can I charge for my labor fixing things? I had some hired help but also myself.

2. What can she do legally? take me to court? would it be in that county courthouse? lease doesn't specify.

3. She put a sink cabinet in the bathroom and left it installed, she mentioned it, can she demand that back?

4. Should I just turn on dick mode and hold all monies? I am worried that I send her out this check and then she starts causing problems.

fyi: I took pictures of all the damages

Thanks for any input/help...
