Hi! I just moved out of my house in Mississippi. And I
went ahead and deducted my deposit out of my rent, and
told the landlord that she could bill me for the carpet
cleaning, which was all that was needed. Now she is saying
that she is planning on suing me for the whole amount
stating that I need to pay for them mowing the lawn (done
by her son) and basic cleaning of the unit. I rented from
an individual, and the only thing that I signed was a
piece of notebook paper saying that I was the tenant and
my rent amount. It DOES state that I gave a $200 dollar
deposit. I know I should not have deducted the deposit,
but she is a very shady lady, and so I wanted to make sure
I am not being ripped of. Do I have a leg to stand on in
court(with a lawyer) or will I lose?
