I have been sued by my previous landlord. She is taking me to small claims court for "damages". However, in the paperwork, she does NOT list what "damages" she is suing me for....
When I moved into the house, she waived any deposits if I agreed to clean the house for move in. This was fine. My mother lived upstairs, and I was eager to live there.
So there was no deposit to get back, and I honestly did NOT cause any damages. The house is in horrific condition. On more than one occasion, I had things break on me (pipes, furnace, hot water heater, and the list goes on) in which she basically ignored me when I requested a fix. I finally would have to hire my own outside vendor to come do repairs and deduct from my rent. I had reached the last straw when our hot water heater went out (in JANUARY) and she did not have it fixed.
How am I supposed to prepare my defense if I dont know what I am defending myself against. Doesnt she have to list what she is claiming I damaged??
