If there is nothing on the contract stipulating how clean each appliance should be prior to your moving out, the landlord has no legal basis not to return your deposit. I assume you left those appliances in reasonable shape, compared to prior moving in, you have a case against him. File a lawsuit against him.

礼尚往来. 他来信要钱, 你回信拒绝. 告诉他们 "还钥匙之前，还让他们的人上来看看，说如果那里不合格，我愿意再打扫一下。结果他们不来，还说“As long as you cleaned, that will be fine." 而你的确清扫了, 你走的时候房间的情况和你进去的时候一样, 没有理由不还我押金. 坚决要求他们还!!
记住, 口说无凭, 书信交流, 有据可查. 洋鬼子也怕碰到认真的. 你认真的去要你的钥匙押金, 认真的去反驳他们的要求, 一般来说他们不嚣张了. (最多你丢了钥匙押金, 但是别再多赔钱进去.)
从前有一个新移民朋友来, 租好房子没住三天, 突然发现对面就是殡仪馆. 按中国人的心理, 这地方无论如何住不下去, 更何况她单身一个, 夜里吓的都睡不着觉. 和房东说好退房, 两个月押金不要了, 但是一天也不多住. 结果老外变本加厉欺负她, 非要她按合同把剩下10个月房租也交上. (她签了一年). 她吓的连加拿大都不想呆了, 想跑. 后来一个朋友帮她写英文信, 据理力争, 告诉房东所有她不能再住下去的理由, 而且表示房东已经拿了两个月房租, 而房子只住了三天, 就算再打广告招房客, 也不亏. 如果一定还要余下的钱, 我不服. 房东你去起诉吧, 我和法官讲理去, 看看加拿大到底有没有人同情我这个新移民. 结果可想而知了, 房东当然不再出声了.
有些没有素质的加拿大人, 真的会以为新移民好欺负. 你亮点真本事个他们, 立马就老实.
