Security Deposit Return- PLEASE HELP!!!

I am a tenant living in Chicago. I lived in an owner-occupied building with 2 total units.  I moved out March 30, 2024 and just recently received a letter from the landlord (54 days later) with deductions  and reasons of not returning.  Some repairs included, walls to be repainted (I caulked the holes from mounting tvs), garbage was on the ground in the in the alley, furniture was on the ground in the alley.  I informed her the same day that when I put out my garbage a man went dumpster diving as no garbage was left in the home.  She speak of having to clean the carpet because there was a juice stain on it.  I lived there since 11/1/2021 to 3/30/24.  She also received extra money from Illinois Housing for a month I was no longer living there.  The owner-occupied portion makes things difficult, what options do I have?
