A tenant rented an apartment from the landlord pursuant to a lease that required her to surrender

Question:

A tenant rented an apartment from the landlord pursuant to a lease that required her to surrender the premises in “as good a state and condition as reasonable use and wear and tear will permit” and to make a refundable security deposit. After the lease was executed, the landlord notified the tenants in the building that no tenant was to shampoo the wall-to-wall carpet on surrender of the lease because the landlord had retained a professional carpet cleaner to do it. The cost of the carpet cleaner’s services was to be automatically deducted from the security deposit. When the tenant left the building, a portion of her security deposit was withheld to cover carpet cleaning and she sued for a refund of the full deposit. Is the tenant entitled to a refund?
