I just take a breath and basically write off the deposit. We lucked out because my D moved out of her apt and some other girls stayed so she got her deposit back since the mgmt co never “inspected” after she left.
But next year, I assume it is toast. If she does get something back then that will be like finding $ in the dryer.
I suggest you just make sure the place is “safe” and not worry about the deposit. Things will work out. And this is a great life lesson. College housing is not supposed to be “the best”. It is college housing…it is a benchmark for all future housing!
