In situations like these, you need to always refer to your lease agreement. So what does it say? Normal wear and tear should not be charged. If there is a need for carpet replacement and it was charged to you then that could be because of some major damages that you did. For instance, stains and pet marks. If these are not present, then you should not be charged. Again, look at your lease. It is a legally binding agreement and that should help you out. If you have documentation of the state of the rental before and after you moved, that would also be handy. You can also file a complaint against your landlord.
