Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

My security deposit

I am moving at the end of July and I would like to know what the law says about normal wear and tear on a property. I put $1,500.00 down when i moved in and would like to know what to expect when the landlord decides what he will do. I will be cleaning the carpets and walls along with regular cleaning during a move.
