Re: Accused of stealing landlords personal property
Refuse to pay in which event she will have to sue you for the money she wants. In the meantime investigate as much as you can to locate the items, find witnesses which will support your story. If sued, she has to prove that it is more likely than not that you are the one who stole her property. Start looking for a new place to live, it is not likely that you will be a welcome tenant much longer.
