Yes, in most areas the rental owner can charge tenants amounts in excess of the security deposit. Some local laws prevent this. So if you destroyed something or did major violations of occupancy rules, yes, quite likely that you will have to pay. Most landlords will be tough talking about suits and possible criminal charges, but honestly most will negotiate with you to some extent.
