about 4 months ago my father rented out his garage to this woman. the garage had no restroom or kitchen, but he allowed her to share the living room bathroom and kitchen, since it was an attached garage. she had access to both at all times. when he first rented it to her, he didnt know that this was illegal. he was just a desperate man trying to keep a roof over his family. anyways, the woman and my father both agreed that she would be living in the garage for a few months at most. the morning after she moved in, my father found her on our living room couch. he asked her what was going on, since she only rented the garage. she then told him that it was illegal to rent out a garage. shocked, my father asked her kindly that he'd made a mistke, and instead of living there for a few months, she find a place to move asap. she told him shed move by the end of the month. howver, she made no effort to leave, and even caused a lot of trouble in the neighborhood. by the end of two months, my father was notified by city hall to ask her to leave. in the end, my mom found her a place to move to. she did leave, but didnt bring her stuff. by the second day of the 3rd month, the police asked her to take her belongings. according to the officer, we were to return her deposit once she returned our key. but after yet another month, we still didnt here from her.my father called her a couple of times about the deposit, but she never answred. recently, my father recieved a letter, saying that she was sueing him for the 2 months rent plus the deposit. she said that he "refuses" to pay her back the deposit after contacting him". but this is a lie, since he'd gladly return it, and besides thefact that she never contacted him at all. what is your opinin? will my father lose the court case? i mean, nobody forced her to move into the garage. my father didnt know it was illegal, but she did, yet went ahead and rented it anyways. thankyou so much. and please, no rude answers. my father and i know that what he did was wrong.
