Tenant threatening to sue in small claims court over security deposit

[Sam Hudacek]

Hey all,

I've got a tenant threatening to sue in small claims court over partial security deposit return due to damages.

The property is in my name which is also my primary residence. I feel like i have a great case regarding evidence, my question is, what is the worst case scenario regarding small claims court?

If its a win or a loss, does it affect credit score? My business down the line? Mortgage lending? Employment? Etc.

Thanks all!
