How to tell tenant they are losing deposit...

Hey all!  Been a while since I posted on here but I did have a quick question...

My tenant has neglected some routine maintenance on the home I rent to them (has not been changing the A/C filter) and this has directly contributed to repair costs on the A/C unit.  Granted the unit is older, but from all accounts it is running fine.  

The tenant has also left cat food outside when it specifically states in the rules not to.  This can lead to problems with rodents and other pests.  So if course they then complained about rodents and we paid to have an exterminator come in.  

What is the best way to tell them that they will not be getting some of the deposit back?
