What is the name of your state? MI
Are landlords required to a letter outlining their move out procedures after you've given notice that you are vacating? Something stating the specific things you can/will be charged for, as well as something stating "keys must be turned in by X date or else you will be charged?"
If it became known that a company was purposely not sending these letters out in hopes that tenants would not follow their procedures in order to keep part or all of the security deposits, could a case be made against them EVEN THOUGH in the contracts themselves these things are included?
For instance, I know there are certain safeguards such as requiring landlords to put certain things in larger fonts... and I know there are some notices required by landlords such as if they are raising rent or going to month to month, I am talking about their move out procedures specifically, whereas they define moving out by the actual dropping off of the keys rather than simply physically vacating the premise.
