My landlord's insurance company is claiming that we're responsible for $2,500 in damages. We previously settled the matter with the landlord. S/he wrote us an email stating "I won't seek damages from you and you won't seek damages from me" after we said we were prepared to challenge the claims, b/c:
1) We were not given a move-out inspection as our Notice to Vacate requested, nor the opportunity to fix problems.
2) Damages were quoted much higher than estimates we received.
3) The "invoices" were amateur at best, fraudulent at worst. 100+ hours to paint a 700 sq.ft.apt.
We already forfeited a $2,000 deposit. We figured her proposal would be the end of it.
We appreciate any advice.
