Are these charges the renters responsibility?

So I moved out of a 3 bedroom rental at the beginning of October. I just now got my deposit check back. There are some charges on here that I'm not sure are my responsibility or the owners. I'm about to go discuss the charges tomorrow and don't want to complain about things they have the right to charge me for.

This is the list of things I'm not sure about.

-Installed door plate on master french door (door wasn't broke or anything. Just adding this for looks?)

-re-installed/repaired towel bars and tp holders in bathrooms (these weren't broken or removed. I don't know if the painters took them off or something)

-replaced master shower head, toilet seats, sink, and rebuilt toilet; re-caulked shower (I used my own rainfall type shower head from day one. the other stuff I just don't know if that's my fault or not)

-replaced batteries in smoke and CO alarms

-replaced furnace filter

-replaced back bedroom door knob ( it didn't match the others, and was like that the day I moved in)

Is it not normal to give an itemized list of prices for these various charges? I just got one big invoice from the contractor to the PM that says $730 due. My PM charged me $300 out of that $730 without explaining or showing me what I was actually paying for. So I do believe some of the above charges weren't charged to me, I was just trying to make sure before I go to the office tomorrow that if they were charges to me, if they were legit charges or not. 

Thanks for any input!
