    Court may actually be the best answer. Landlord/tenant and small claims courts often see these type cases and know how to measure true "wear and tear" (which you can't be sued for) and actual damage. Make sure to bring every copy of your lease to prove how long you lived there because you're allowed more wear and tear the longer you live there (if you renewed, bring each one). Bring photos taken during your tenancy (especially early on, to show existing damage). Even if the photos are holiday ones or whatever, they will show the condition. I hope you're successful in your defense.
