I agree with the other ladies. If you have online banking you can easily print the statements off. If you don't, just go to a branch and ask them to print it for you. This should be no issue at all, they can easily access the data (might have to pay 2 or 3 dollars for printing, depends on the bank, though).
Also I would suggest putting ALL correspondence between you and the Real Estate Agency in a nice ring binder (Inspection notices; the little piece of paper they leave behind after an inspection saying: All looks good; etc etc), so you got it all there and you look all organized This can help you in case they say something like: "Oh, but we did inform you of *blablabla* in one of the letters we send you..." This way you can say "Well, I have ALL your letters here, there is not one that states *blablabla* " Does that make any sense?
I don't know how much time you have before the trial, but you could always get statutory declarations written by neighbours/friends to state that you kept the house clean/ kept everything in check all the time, etc. That way it's not just your word against theirs IYKWIM.
Regarding the water bill: You only have to pay if you go over the standard amount (they have a flat rate the landlord has to pay, everything above, the renter has to pay). It might be worth checking the water meter and enquiring exactly how much has been used. If it is within the flat-rate you don't have to pay anything. THEY HAVE TO PROVE that you went over the account! So write down what your water meter says (if you still have access to the property).
