I just moved out of an apartment 2 months ago. I paid a $500 pet deposit when I moved in. While living there, my dog tore up a 1" strip of carpet. The tear was small enough to be stretched or patched. The landlord went and replaced the carpet in the entire 1200 sqft apartment. She said that they had discontinued the carpet, so they had no choice. And she would only charge me half the amount to replace the carpet. She only deducted half of my pet deposit and my entire security deposit from the amount owed, because the other half was a "pet fee." Now, she's saying I owe $228. Do I have to pay? It wasn't my fault she had to replace the WHOLE carpet.
