What can be considered wear and tear?

We just moved out of our apartment in Bel-Air after a 2 year stay. Now the landlord wants to charge for everything:
1. scratches on floors
2. scratches on walls

The landlord actually said that she is getting a professional cleaner to clean the place and will charge it to us. We left the place clean which means no papers big and small, no oil, etc... but she wants it spotlessly clean. She also wants to repaint the entire apartment and charge it to us as she said there are scratches on the walls and some paint chipped off. Shouldnt this be considered wear and tear? And since when were tenants responsible for paint chipping off? Lastly, she also wants to charge for scratches on the wooden floor.

Can anybody give any legal opinions?
