I can't answer definitely without more information.
Basically, if the tenant did something wrong, then the landlord may very well be in a position to sue to be compensated for this wrong.

Is the tenant responsible for a broken window after the landlord returns the deposit in full and satisfied a week later?
As a general rule, return of a deposit does not, by itself, constitute a waiver or release of any claims that might have been covered by the deposit. In many cases, the deposit laws are much more strict than ordinary contract or tort laws, meaning the landlord may have little choice but to return the deposit and file a lawsuit later.
Can a landlord demand payment for a broken ac after you have been out of rental for 3 months?
Well firstly, putting aside the law, if you broke it, then you should pay for it. The landlord is morally right. If you only want to rise to your legal obligation, then probably not. In California, for example, there are strict laws about use of the security deposit. The landlord must give you the opportunity to do an initial inspection before moving out. If you both do that, then only items noted on the report and not corrected can be billed for.
Can property management cancel your refund check after they have cleared you as a tenant?
It's not clear what you mean by "cleared". There are strict laws governing how a landlord can use the security deposit a tenant gives upon leasing. The landlord must return the money unless there is a clear justification, such as damage or unpaid rent. In California (and probably many other places), the landlord must give the tenant an opportunity to clean or repair to avoid having to pay out of the deposit. They cannot charge for improving the property to a better state than when the tenant moved in. So they cannot cancel your refund without a good reason and following procedure.
Can you use youe security deposit as rent if you dont have any money and your moving out?
Tenants often think this would be a good idea. What if you leave the place a mess or don't move once the deposit is consumed? As your landlord I would begin eviction as soon as you didn't pay your rent.
