The rules for every statement may vary, but just about every state the rule is the same with regard to security deposits: no security deposit can be withheld automatically for any reason. If this was the case, then this wouldn't be a security deposit: it would be a fee. In my opinion $400 is quite exorbitant for cleaning fees. And this cannot be part of the lease agreement for it would be considered unconscionable.
