Carpet smells bad, can I use deposit to pay?

[Andy Chen]

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before. Just a new landlord trying to get things right and fair. A tenant just moved out and the carpet has strong smell because of the pet. Can I use the deposit to pay for the carpet replacement? or the carpet deep cleaning would be able to get rid of the smell.

And if yes, do I use pet deposit or security deposit to pay? Is it max amount limited to any of them or the combined total?

Thank you
