Re: pet damaged property

She can seek an action for damages against you for the damage caused by your pet. You should seek some kind of payment plan with her to try to pay for the damage. In the agreement, you can stipulate that she won't contact your family or landlord on the condition you continue to pay. Working it out between the 2 of you will save a lot of money by not tacking on court/ attorney fees.
