3. What is it going to cost to fix the thing that needs fixing? If you're doing it yourself, assume that in addition to the materials needed, you cost $75/hr. Deduct that from the damage deposit.

I tend to prefer hiring someone else to do the fixing involved in (3). I dont have to do it, and it provides a pretty clear paper trail if they take you to RTDRS.
