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

If they admit they caused the damages, or it was proven all was well with a signed statement upon arrival, and now it is broken, I would get the prices for the repairs and submit it to them. If the $500 does not cover it, they would make up the difference. If so, return the unused portion.
