cutting deposit trough DPS after signing that property is ok

we had our landlord checked property before we moved out
we agreed we will cut the grass as it was a problem - done

then we gave them keys back and outstanding money to hand

after that landlord signed that he is happy with it - in reasonable condition

now i see that he wants to cut 200 pound from our 1500 deposit

    What's the £200 for? You've cut the grass so it can't be that.

    So, you cleared rubbish from the shed when you moved in and now there is rubbish in the shed again, but it's not yours? How is that possible?

    You were never given an inventory when you moved in? Really?

    As for check out, what did you mean by
    we had our landlord checked property before we moved out
    What did this say?

    And what about the iron damage Pixie referred to?

    Now read:

    * Deposits: payment, protection and return

    House was unfurnished and after refubishment so it was not nesessary, but we have made pictures.
    I have made a patch and hole was not noticed.

    After i cut the grass i went to his house and gave him keys back,
    Then he made me a confirmation on the piece of paper saying:

    "Recieved 143.00 pounds from michal on account of rent for 37 P.... walk - 1 August 2015 and the keys to the front door and the home is in reasonable condition.
    Date 1.09.2015"

    Could he request anything more after signing this?
