What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
My landlord sent an itemized bill and my security deposit 53 days after the termination of my lease. They returned my full security deposit of $300, but are demanding over $1000 for carpet replacement. They claim that they need to replace the whole carpeting (2 floors) due to pet pee stains on the top floor, which I think is ridiculous so I am refusing to pay, and they are suing me.
Do I have any legal course of action, especially because they sent my itemized bill and security deposit so late?
