What can a Landlord charge you from you security deposit?
Not while he's holding the security deposit and the tenant is still living on the property. If your landlord finds that the tenant has damaged the home of landlord can give him the opportunity to fix it, sue the tenant for such damage - even if the tenant is still living on the property - or begin the eviction proceedings for violating the terms of the lease with the proper notice asking the tenant to vacate the premises. If the tenant moves out because of the violation, the landlord may keep all or part of the security deposit he is holding.
Does a landlord need to provide a receipt of carpet replacement costs or can they just quote an amount?
A landlord can charge for excessive wear and tear on carpet only if it's unreasonable wear and tear. After five years, according to national standards, a carpet is deemed to be completely worn, and such wear is considered reasonable. So in answer to your question, the newer the carpet, the more the landlord can charge if the carpet is damaged, if it is damaged outside the reasonable wear-and-tear limits.

Can a landlord charge a pet deposit fee if the pet has been on the premises for more than a month and nothing was ever said about a fee when I got it?
It sounds like the landlord wants to change the terms of the tenancy. They can do that, but they would have to follow the proper procedure. If this is a year lease, they have to wait until the year is up. If a month-to-month tenancy, they have to give a full month's notice. Also, some states limit the amount of a security deposit to one month. A pet deposit is a security deposit, regardless of what someone calls it. If they have collected a one-month security deposit already, state law may prohibit collecting another deposit.

How many days does the tenant have to request copies of invoices if the security deposit has not been returned?
In most states the landlord has up to 30 days to return to you your security deposit minus any charges the landlord wants to offset from your deposit. He has to also furnish you with copies of any receipts for damages that were not incurred from normal wear and tear, cleaning fees and other fees the landlord may charge you according to the terms of your lease. If your landlord does not return to you your deposit or anything else within those 30 days, you have the right to sue your landlord for the full deposit and the landlord cannot deduct any money after the 30 days has expired.
