Yes, go ahead and charge them the $405 for patching in a piece, but then that amount will go towards whatever you pay to replace the whole carpet. If you return a partial deposit, they are not likely to try to sue you. If they do, your records will indicate that you did not try to charge them for the full replacement cost of the carpet. At that time, it would be up to a judge to decide what figures to use. Usually tenants only sue LLs who not only keep the full deposit, but come up with $1-$3,000 more that the T owes.
