My ex-tenet who moved out *7 months ago* texted me today and demand for a partial refund of her total rental payment (80%) she made for 2 years within 30 days or she will get a lawyer and sue me.
#1
She mentioned that she was led to believe that she can use the living room when she first rent the bedroom. (Please note that almost everything are verbal, and we did not specify that you can/cannot use living room, but the rent was specifically for a bedroom, and the use of bathroom/kitchen is allow. she knew this on her first week, she complained about it, but we told her that this is out is it, and then she seems to be OK with it and stayed for...2 years.
#2
She mentioned that she was not allow to bring any guest/friend, we said we are no in favor of having strangers, especially male because...well, i'm a female, and she ignored and still manage to bring her boyfriend up a few times without permission. Now she is making this 1 of the reason of the sue.
#3
She mentioned that i'm bossy and having a landlord attitude, and threathen to evict her. There were serveral occasion that we got into unhappy situation, but i've never threaten to evict her, but i've asked her to move out with a 30 days notice if she can't bind to the rule and if she act immaturely.
#4
She mentioned that i made her made cash payment and she thinks that i've not been reporting it to IRS and she will sue me about this too. Can she use this as one of her point in the civil court? Everything were cash
Update: I'm more worried about #4, because i did not in fact report it to IRS because i think the rent was to cover the maintenance of my apartment, will the judge in favor of the tenet and ask me to refund all of the rental payment because of this? And please note that she moved out 6 months ago, will the judge accept this case since she no longer live here?
