Security Deposit: Loss of Rent to Complete Repairs After Moveout

[James Farrel]

Is it permissible to deduct loss of rent from a security deposit due to a unit not being available to rent again pending repairs due damage that was chargeable to the tenant if I could not reasonably complete those repairs while the tenant was still in the unit due to clutter?  (ex. painting, damages I could not see in drywall etc.)
