It depends. I lived in my apartment for about 3 years before getting a house, and I basically left it more or less spotless. I didn't even hang decorations on the walls. Honestly, other than a bed, dresser, card table, small couch, and tv stand there wasn't any other furniture I brought in. I got close to 80% of my deposit back if I recall when I moved out.

Now one of my friends, just literally dumped all his trash in the middle of the room when he left, under the assumption the deposit was gone. Obviously he got none back, but he made a huge mess for the apartment to clean up.
