You can file your claim in small claims court. The foirms are available at the courthouse.
I suggest you go a different route. You are responsible for rent and your lease probably states so. As to the aggravated assault charge, I suggest you file a suit against her for false reporting to the police and sue for damages not to mention getting your record expunged. This could create problems for you in the future for jobs.
I agree that you should file charges against her for making a false report to the police, and then go through the process of getting your record expunged. On another note, if you moved out prior to the end of your lease and without giving her proper notice, the landlord was entitled to damages. Regards,
