<human>: Hi everyone. Kinda in a bad place here. I moved my family across the state of Washington for a job and had to break my lease with my current landlord. In the lease it said that we would forgot our $625 security deposit if we broke our lease and we understood that. Two weeks after we move they sent us a letter saying we owe $1800 in cleaning charges. They did a closing inspection walkthrough without us and wrote us up for replacing the carpet and other things which I admit were slightly damages by our service puppy. Anyways, the security deposit didn't cover any of the cleaning and we wrote them a letter disputing them pocketing our security deposit and they are going to send the bill to collections if we don't pay. I don't necessarily want to go to court across the state for $625, but I'll do what I have to I guess.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Landlord company pocketed our security deposit and charged us for cleaning when we broke our lease. Now they're going to send us to collections. Any advice?
