Here's a good starting point. The laws are different depending on the state you live in.
Start here, and then google "Renter's Rights" and your state abbreviation also.

odds are good that if you were promised repairs and never received results on that promise ,you will never see your deposit monies again no matter how much you clean
your best hope now is to still have the pictures you should have taken at move in, showing the move in condition and a signed copy of all problems the management was going to fix ...sounds like you are in a very broke down apartment complex that is use to getting away with never fixing anything that wont get them taken to court ...also seems that the owners are use to being taken to court alot thats why they sold the place to the new people ...and the new people found it was cheaper to make modest repairs sell the old but newly painted apartments as "condos" and get out fast ...sadly this happening all over the country so take the deposit loss and find a new place quick

Google.
"tenants' rights" plus your state or province.
