Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut
Can I be counter sued?
I live in a condo and am having problems with the management and board repairing and reimbursing for flood damages due to a burst pipe in the unit next to me.
My question is...
If I take them to small claims court only to have them make the repairs and reimburse for actual money I paid out, can they counter sue me for anything (including their attorney fees) if the decision goes against me?
Thank you so much,
I have been trying to get this resolve for almost 3 years, have run out of patience!!!

It will depend on the language in the lease. Some leases have provisions regaring the payment of attorneys fees.
