Do you pay the replacement cost or the depreciated cost on damages upon move out (doors/blinds/floor tile)?
I'm a renter in MI and I broke my lease 2 months early. I gave 6 weeks notice and once we moved out she had 2 weeks with paid rent to fix up the house. We had some damages and she is claiming I owe her more than my deposit for them. For example:
In the dining and living room she had 6' vertical shades that would open and close. Three of the vertical shades broke and normally you can buy replacement shades for $10 but her style was discontinued and I bought 2 new shades for $75. She is now trying to charge me $45 for installing them. In the hall closet their was a small dent and I filled it in and stained it. It was in the lower left corner and not noticeable in passing but in her words "Patch lower left side not acceptable for re-sale of home" and is billing me $50 for a new door and another $45 for her time to install and stain it.
Is this right? I spent almost $2,000 trying to make everything perfect and I feel like she is taking advantage of it.

I want to know where to buy shades for 10 bucks!
$45 for installation is reasonable. It does take time, at a base rate of 30 and hour that is only an hour and a half. It is about right.
The door was damaged, she has the right to replace it. I have doors that are over 100 years old, they have a very long expected life.
The only time the labor and installation charges are not allowed is if she did them herself. She can only bill you if she hired a handyman. While I personally do a lot of my own repairs I would hire to have a door hung, it is too hard to get perfect, and I do not have the proper tools for changing it if the door frame is not plumb.

First of all what you spent on repairs is immaterial. If she feels you did not do a good enough job then she can charge you do re-do it.
All of what you stated sounds legal.
