They said they will charge me an additional $800 for carpet replacement which will be taken out of my refundable deposit and i will still owe them $400.
I guess I don't understand.

How can a deposit be "non-refundable"........The word deposit means it's money on hold.

Either they need to use that money to clean your apt, or they don't.

If they don't, they need to return it to you.

So they are saying just the fact of owning a pet is going to result in $300 non-refundable cleaning costs, no matter if there aren't any stains at all?
