Exactly.. the walkthrough should be done by both of you at the same time, and you should have the check list that was done on move in. Take a digital camera and record everything.

If they keep a bunch of money for no reason, you can take them to small claims court.

I had a landlord once that basically claimed all this damage that didn't exist. She kept the security deposit. I checked and there was quite a history of judgements against her and talking to the manager in the building it seemed to be her MO.. in the end though I didn't sue because it was only $400 at the time and it wasn't worth the headache to me.

Bad landlords suck as much as bad tenants do.
