Get a lawyer, got to court... I have been landlord for 10 years. Only once judge asked me to pay the tenant...
The grand amount of
$13.
That's for a bottle of pest spray she paid.
Don't be afraid to go to the court. Get a lawyer and make sure you go through records and documentations before the court date.
This is a common situation. The landlord is afraid to go the court, the tenant is not....
