[¶] (2) The repair of damages to the premises, exclusive of ordinary wear and tear, caused by the tenant. . . . [¶] (3) The cleaning of the premises upon termination of the tenancy. [¶] (4) To remedy future defaults by the tenant in any obligation under the rental agreement to restore, replace or return personal property or appurtenances, exclusive of ordinary wear and tear, if the security deposit is authorized to be applied thereto by the rental agreement. [¶] (c) A landlord may not demand or receive security, however denominated, in an amount or value in excess of an amount equal to two months' rent, in the case of unfurnished residential property . . . in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy. . . .

[¶] (k) The bad faith claim or retention by a landlord . . . of the security or any portion thereof, in violation of this section . . ., may subject the landlord . . . to damages not to exceed ($200), in addition to any actual damages. . . .
