Depends on the law where you are, but in general, no. A tenant is permitted the "quiet enjoyment" of the property- meaning that they have the right to do lawful things on the property that do not damage it. If possession of a firearm is legal, the owner of the property would have no legal right to restrict the tenant from doing a legal thing.

Is there a law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a tentants deposit?
There is no law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a deposit. However, if the landlord did not give a walk through, it is easy for the tenant to argue that the landlord is lying because there is no proof that the damage being claimed by the landlord really existed at move-out.

Can a landlord send you a bill after you move out?
Yes. I landlord can send you a bill after you move out. If you paid a security deposit when you moved in those funds are put towards and damages that were not "normal wear and tear". If the security deposit did not cover the damages then the landlord can send you a bill for the difference. There is a loophole here that some landlords forget about. Within 30 days of moving out if your landlord is keeping your security deposit and sending you a bill he needs to send you a letter detailing the damages and the cost for repairs. The 30 days is the limit. If it was sent on day 31 then the landlord is out of luck.
Does a landlord have to give you your deposit back if he forecloses?
Not per se. A foreclosure proceeding on your landlord is no reason to not pay your rent, as long as he still has control of the property. If this is not the case then the bank or other entity that has control over the property will give you instructions on what to do. Your landlord has to give you your deposit back unless he's keeping it for legitimate reason, and such reason must be listed on the paper he sends you when he intends to keep the deposit.

If a tenant's dishwasher breaks down after six months - is it the landlords responsibility to replace it?
It depends on what your lease says, but generally, the landlord is responsible for keeping all appliances that were supplied with the property in good working order. If you contact your landlord and the landlord refuses to fix the dishwasher, I recommend you contact your city hall to determine the department that issues renal licenses for your area. They might be able to point you in the right direction for your area.

Yes, you may. If it can be proved your cat died of mold. And that the landlord had known of the mold for some time and done nothing about it. And if there were no other contributing factors, such as you not letting the landlord have access, not keeping things clean, etc. And just because you can sue, doesn't mean you'll win. And it's legally still debated what the worth of a house pet is, though there's been a recent case that would give it a far greater assigned value then before.
