Not only that, they sent me a bill for the carpet replacement and new gas range and threatens me to collect agency if I won't pay. Anything that I can do?

Did you have a final walkthrough before moving out? Usually that's when your landlord gives you the reason for keeping the deposit or any additional charges for repair.
If you feel that your landlord is trying to rip you off, you can follow these steps to get your deposit back:

Landlord should give you itemized damages and good reason for not returning your deposit, otherwise you could suit for the deposit by law.

If you left the house in bad condition except normal wear and tear, then you should be responsible to pay your landlord.
