CA Deposit Laws

Does anyone know rental deposit laws?

I'm trying to find out what a landlord can take out for cleaning when the place is going up for sale.

I cleaned the place before I moved out and my landlord charged me a $145 cleaning fee to clean the carpets, bathroom and kitchen (after I already cleaned it). The place is up for sale so he was going to have to clean it anyways - so it seems very shady that he charged me to clean his place.

I should note that I have photos of the cleaned, undamaged areas as well as a witness who was there when he said everything but the carpet (which I have proof of damage) was fine.
