Property Manager gone Looney Tunes...#2

My property manager wants to sue me for move out charges. Damages to the property and cleaning costs mainly. I cleaned the apartment and the things she said I damaged I turned in on my move in checklist as damaged at move in, which she conveniently lost. I do not owe this money and I documented everything with pictures, my move in checklist and the complaints filed with codes. How can she charge me when it is not accurate?

Easy, it happens all the time(when court cases are filed with less than meritorious claims). It will be your task as defendant (if a case is filed) to convince the judge that the plaintiff(property manager) has failed to meet her burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence offered and that, consequently, no damages should be awarded.
