Considering taking my LL to Small Claims Court based on deductions made to sec deposit.
The basic question is, I expect that once we get to court, it will be his word against mine- I know that I have no hard evidence (photos-not that I would have known what pictures to take) and I expect that he wont either (I think he is lazy and disorganized-not that it matters- hes lying anyway).
The LL did send me a letter itemizing deductions from dep. I sent one back, disagreeing with all of the deductions-again, a paper trail, but no evidence.
I do think that I could make a persuasive argument in court, but thats not evidence. Any suggestions/ideas? How do these things usually get resolved?
Also, LL is threatening to countersue for other damages (imagined) which he says he waived initially. However, I have the initial deduction letter from him which appear to me to limit his ability to reopen that can of worms. Again, any ideas?
