Answer:

d. itemize the damage in writing and return any excess deposit within one month                

Explanation:

When a tenant leaves an apartment giving a notice, the owner finds a damage in the apartment. In such a situation, the landlord can itemize the substantial damage in a written form and give it to the tenants returning the excess amount of money which is deposited within one month by the tenants. Thus the house owner can recover the cost for the damages from the tenants.
