The statute of limitations for an action on a written contract (your rental agreement) is four years.

There is no rule as to the number of years the carpet has been there; even fairly poor carpeting will last more than three years. The landlord can only charge you for damage that is beyond normal wear and tear. There is a four year statute of limitations on written agreements, so you can no longer sue the landlord.
