Carpet is the biggest money making scam for apartments. Well, that and pet deposits. I've lived in three apartments in my life and it never mattered what condition i left the carpets in, they always came back with a full bill for replacement. Shit, one time i even rented one of those fancy smancy steam cleaners from Home Depot and they still tried to tag me for what they called damage at the front entrance.

I don't really remember what i did because it was so long ago. However, i do remember one apartment sending me a $1200 bill for full replacement once. I was partially responsible since i was working on my bikes out in the garage and tracked some grease into the place. I went in and offered them $200 and said thats all they would ever get from me. The manager accepted and I made her sign a form releasing me from all charges.

I think you should politely tell them to get fucked.
