Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Iowa
I got drunk and fell at someone else's house. I went to the ER and got stitches. I have no recollection of anything and urinated on their couch. I have offered to pay 150 in damages, but the houseowner wants more and is constantly harassing me. If I refuse to give him more money does he have any grounds for a legal argument in the future.

He can sue you for the couch, and my guess is he will win. If you ruined his couch because you got drunk on his booze, make it right. I would say a new couch is not out of line. Would you rather he came to your house and gave your couch a similar "treatment?"
