This has happened to us; the lesson learned is to make the landlord physically do a walk through with you and document the way the property was left. If you have already received your security deposit back, then the landlord has no leg to stand on. It might be worth a call to make sure than an error has not been made by the accounting office. You can take them to small claims court if you cannot get them to rescind the request for more money, so that the charges do not affect your credit later. Keep paper copies and notes of any conversations.

Can a landlord sue a tenant for expenses after tenant sued for security deposit and lost?
Probably YES. Read your lease. The tenant may be held liable for all legal fees incurred by a landlord by actions of a tenant. Since the landlord had to provide a defense, he incurred fees. Just as if you WON, you may have been able to collect YOUR legal fees. Laws vary by state and I am not an attorney. See RentLaw.com for general info.

If renter has to move from a rental property because of landlords fault who is responsible for moving costs?
If the lease is month to month, the landlord just has to give you a month notice and you are gone. If there is a lease that is still in effect, the landlord is responsible for costs that you incurred as a result of the breach of the lease.
How many days does the tenant have to request copies of invoices if the security deposit has not been returned?
In most states the landlord has up to 30 days to return to you your security deposit minus any charges the landlord wants to offset from your deposit. He has to also furnish you with copies of any receipts for damages that were not incurred from normal wear and tear, cleaning fees and other fees the landlord may charge you according to the terms of your lease. If your landlord does not return to you your deposit or anything else within those 30 days, you have the right to sue your landlord for the full deposit and the landlord cannot deduct any money after the 30 days has expired.
Can a landlord sue for damages after 30 days?
Yes. The time for any creditor/lender to file suit for compensation of monies owed for whatever reason is determined by the statute of limitations laws of the state in which the debt was incurred. In cases as noted above, state laws relating to landlord and tenant contracts may also apply.
