My Landlord Has Claimed Damages To The House I Was Renting. What Should I Do?
My Landlord has claimed damages to the house I was renting. She claims she had to repaint the walls replace the carpet, which was tens years old. Sand and refinish the hardwood floors which also the original finish and faded and failed due to sun damage. Replaced painted french doors that had scratches and claims $600.00 labor. All the repairs were not like items but high end upgrades. She is now suing me for the cost of all repairs. S

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.
