I have a dog, and after a lease ended the landlord told me they hired "experts" that said the dog ruined the carpet and i'd have to pay $1000 to replace it. Very hard to argue against without hiring expensive people as well. To be clear, I don't think my dog caused $1000 in damage to the carpet, but i can understand how any damage may be undesirable and there is no partial carpet replacements. This was first apartment with dog, so this was an unknown expense.
