Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I recently moved out of an apartment after two years of living there and they are charging me for the carpet replacement of my bedroom under the condition of "stains." I think that replacement is unnecessary and that they are just charging me to replace their carpet that has been there for god knows how long before I moved in. Is there any law that supports me in arguing to drop the charges to professional cleaning?
