What is the proper procedure regarding return of security deposit? Under what conditions is it NOT returned? What expenses may be subtracted?

You need to read up on your State and Local rental laws

RE: Security Deposit
Under following circumstances, a landlord can refund your security deposit: * If the landlord fails to put your money in a bank account separate from the landlord's money; * If the landlord does not give you a complete written receipt that has all of the information listed in the chart in the section called Security Deposit and Landlord's Responsibility; or * If the landlord does not allow you to inspect the records she is required to keep under the security deposit law. In such condition, you can demand for security deposit
