My landlord is a pain we moved out at her request with no eviction and we owe her 460 for July…she has a 600 deposit and still wants out rent. We also gave her a $250 non refundable fee for our dog. She wants the $ for any damages we lived there less than 3 months no damages there!

Legally, the security deposit is insurance that you will not leave the rented property without paying the last month's rent. It can be used to cover the costs of repairs after you have vacated. However, legally, the landlord must provide you with an itemized billing of what repairs were made.
The security deposit should be held, by the landlord, in an escrow savings account and not intermingled with any other funds. You should be credited with any interested earned by this savings account.
Request from your landlord an itemized billing for the damages she claims you incurred. By the way, repainting the apartment is not considered repair of damages. That comes under normal wear and tear.
