Dated Photo's, written testimony from people who visited you when you first moved in. Things like that should help you fight the charge.

: When I moved in to my last apartment the carpet was torn up and needed replacing. The management suggested that since I have pets, if I didn't mind, I should/could keep the old carpet and assure that I wouldn't be charged for repair/replacement. The previous tennant was the leasing agent, and she never gave us a copy of the inspection, and said that she would put all the info on the inspection later - stupidly, we signed the form without the carpet on there. Although there should be record of this in the previous file, they can no longer seem to find it, and are charging me $1500 to replace all the carpet in the unit! What do I do? Do I need a lawyer yet? When do I need one? Do I need one?
