The most recent time I moved out a couple years ago, I not only got my $900 deposit back, they didn't ask for the $3000 fee they were supposed to get since I was breaking the lease!
I've lost $1,800 on one move out, and broke a lease early free another time because they forgot to check the box when we signed the lease for early leaving.
The first and only time I moved out of an apartment, I was certain they were going to keep most if not all of my deposit...
But surprisingly, I got all 2,200 of it back! I was shocked but so happy.

I some (all?) places you're also owed interest on the deposit!
