Is it illegal to keep the security deposit if damages were paid?

I moved out of a rental in Jan. I allowed someone to take over my lease and use my deposit. The landlord send a security deposit transmittal and charged me for damages. When the next tenants moved out she also charged them for the damages. I know it is not ethical but is it illegal?
