What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
I leased an apartment in OKC for a year and prior to living in it, I made a list of things that were already messed up within the apartment such as black stains throughout the (beige) carpet in the entry way, the living room, and dining room, as well as various stains in 2 of the bedrooms.
I moved out at the end of last month, and today I received a notice at my new address asking me to pay $900 towards carpet replacement in the apartment. I'll admit that there was an occasional spill here or there, that was taken care of as best I could, especially being on a beige carpet. So, other than the spills that I helped remove as best as I could, how could they make me liable for the already heavily stained carpet before I moved in. It's noted on the condition of the apartment before I moved in, and they noted it needed to be replaced on the very same document!
