Small claims is the way to go, especially with the evidence you have. You can get free legal advice at the courthouse and filing costs around $50, which you can include in your suit. No lawyers are necessary, just show up and make your case on the date the court assigns. In some cases you can be eligible for triple damages, though I'm not sure that applies in this case.

Thank you! I have photos from the day we moved in (timestamped) and the day we turned in our keys (also timestamped), as well as a paper email trail of our contesting/grievance against the charges.

They sent us photos back, where the lighting was indeed bad, but did not show any clear damage.
