Default Security Deposit withheld for damages

My tenant broke my microwave oven, and vertical blind, and has admitted to it. I wouldn't consider this normal wear and tear.
I have a signed rental agreement with a former tenant that states ""The tenant will pay a security deposit of $500.00. This deposit will be held as security for the repair of any damages by the tenant."

That statement is pretty broad, do you think i can withhold a part of there deposit?
