Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

We recently moved out of a rental house on May 31. On June 18, the landlord claimed there were damages to the house (no official document of the damages, just a text) and because of these damages (chipped paint and removal of something left on property) he says he can charge a month of "lost" rent. Is this legal? He claims the damages are preventing him from finding renters.
