issues with moving out and charges for damages not done by us

By kb

i’m in the process of moving out of my house.i had a year lease then it went to month to month.no papers were signed when the year lease was up.when i moved in the house was dirty the carpet was nasty.it probably shouldve been changed awhile back.the whole time we lived there we dealt with nonstop issues with the house.had a water leak most of the time we were there that didnt get fixed til about the time the lease was up.had holes in the roof and squirrels getting in the roof and walls.the heater stopped working more times than i can count.one time had to go to a hotel out of my pocket cause it was too cold.it was 20 degrees outside.i have young kids.the airco stopped working in the hottest of summer one time for at least 4 days.i suspected that there was mold in the walls.the roof awning is rotting away.i was told its not mold its just rotting and they painted over it.me and my kids were sick alot.now that im moving im being told they will have to charge me damages.they say the carpet has to be replaced.they asked if the oven worked which they have already been told it doesnt.it hasnt for months now.i didnt damage the carpet it was bad when i moved in.im not sure what all they are trying to charge me for.im trying to keep myself from getting screwed over and could really use some input.they were nice while renting from them except for the fact they were bad about fixing things.i did do a mold test and although it didnt show black mold it did show there was different types of mold there.now that its time to move they arent being so nice.i was on time with my rent every month excpet for one.please help
