Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

Landlord threatens suit for damages not incurred

My daughter and her girlfriend (both in early twenties) rented a house for themselves and their 3 small children. They lived there 1 yr, gave notice, and moved out. The landlord is suing for all kinds of damages that I know aren't valid (I helped them move out and clean) Part of the amount he is suing for is mowing the grass. The girls moved out by March 31st. How can you mow grass in March (in Virginia) that hasn't grown yet?? And he is also suing for replacing light bulbs and completely repainting the house? He declined a walk through when they moved out. What happens when it becomes a case of landlord's word vs tenants word?

Re: Landlord threatens suit for damages not incurred

Evidence, credible evidence, coming from the parties to the suit during the trial of the case, which the judge hearing the matter will carefully weigh before making a decision on the claim(s).
