Tenants claiming they paid a deposit

I purchased a house with existing tenants. They were also existing when the previous owner purchased the property in foreclosure. I have mine and the previous owners leases that say there was no deposit paid and both tenants signed them. I also have a document stating the previous owner did not receive a deposit when he purchased the property. The tenants have moved at my request and of course are angry. Now they are claiming they paid a deposit and have not provided proof despite many requests. The extensive damage done to the property while they lived there far exceeds any deposit they claim. Should I still provide an itemized list of the damages? I'm not expecting to ever receive any sort of payment from them, but am concerned about them coming after me for this deposit they are claiming.
