Only if the carpet sustained damage above the standard of normal-wear and tare. Fraying carpet, dirty spots, and loose carpet nails are all considered normal wear and tare and are exempt from damage claims.

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 demand carpets to be cleanded 6 months in to the lease. I pd. a 600 Security deposit and they said would evict if the carpets are not cleaned?
If there is a provision on the lease which requires that your carpet be cleaned six months prior to the expiration of the lease, then the landlord has the right to enforce those provisions. Additionally, if the carpet is damaged or dirty because of obvious abuse by the tenant and not the cause of normal wear and tear on the carpet, the landlord has the right to demand that the carpet be cleaned. However, if the carpet was not brand-new, then whatever dirt or damage occurred to it is measured according to wear and tear by the age of the carpet. Carpeting of five years of age or older is usually deemed to have reached its maximum age, for which the landlord has no claim. Finally, the landlord may not keep your entire security deposit simply because you didn't clean the carpet: he can only deduct the cost of cleaning the carpet from the security deposit. I doubt that your landlord can evict you simply because your carpet is dirty. If you have only been in your apartment for six months and your landlord evicts you because the carpet is dirty, then I would take pictures and present them to court to fight your landlord.

How much of your security deposit did your landlord take for a messed up carpet after you moved out?
I have had all (£300) of my deposit taken in the past for a soiled carpet. But usually, where it is a case of simple dirt and not damage, the landlord should only take the amount required for cleaning (approx. £50-£100). Carpet shampooers can be hired from rental shops for as little as £30 per day (shampoo included) and can make a big difference.

Does the landlord have to replace carpet if my apartment smells like cat URINE?
If the carpet originally smelled like that before you moved in, the landlord would have to do something about that. If it began smelling like cat urine after you moved in, I believe you would have to take care of that. Check your contract with the landlord.
