The landlord could require a security deposit equal to two months rent. Asking for additional security deposit now would be a change in the terms of the lease and maybe violate fair housing rules.
Sounds as if the landlord failed to do a proper background check if after one month, the tenant is a problem.
Still, why would a tenant looking to move out after one month, want new carpet?

As an alternative to an additional security deposit, LL could charge tenant for the actual damage now, rather than wait until the tenant leaves. Holding a SD against prospective damage is very different than asking for current payment for actual damage.

Tenant has been there since 2009. Not a month. I have security deposit. She's just all the sudden wants out of the lease and is trying to make up any problems to get out. The lease just renewed in September.
