Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Arizona
demand for payment of damages
at termination of my old lease the landlord sent a demand for payment of $750 to replace a rug that had small stain and a small burn that I failed to report on the move in inspection. There was no joint move out inspection because the manager was not on property the day I left. There was also never any mention of a possible cleaning or repair only a demand for payment to replace the carpet. Now I've been sent to collections and have a negitive on my cedit report. Can I fight this action?
