Take lots of date stamped pictures before you surrender the keys. Try to not engage with the landlord, or keep communications to those in writing. Maybe consider getting a repairman to come give you an estimate on the stove so that when/if the landlord attempts to charge you to replace it, you have something to rebut with. See if the repairman will include on the estimate a professional opinion regarding whether the damage was/could have been caused by misuse. Bite the bullet and have the carpets cleaned. That is a pretty standard move out requirement, even if you say you were away for most of your tenancy. Be prepared to fight back if the landlord withholds unreasonably from your deposit. Be glad you are a homeowner now and no longer have to deal with landlord issues. (You will have a whole new set of issues instead) :-) Good luck.
