I got confirmation that you can reach out to the Fair Housing Advocacy Center of Maryland for help. https://www.fairhousingmd.org/housing-inquiry-form/

Thank you very much! Looking into it now.

I didn't include this in my original post, but the apartment management company says the usual lifespan of carpet before needing to be replaced is 5 years/60 months. I lived there for 2 years/24 months. Hard to believe I did five years of damage in that time. They are very clearly trying to take advantage of me.

They’re not allowed to charge you for normal wear and tear. I would fight back with small claims court, tenant laws in Maryland are protective and should be in your favor.
