My tenant recently moved out, and she disagrees with the amount that was taken out of her security deposit. After speaking with her on the phone, she has further threatened to sue in Superior Court for emotional damages caused by invading her privacy (she claims that I came to her house unannounced and peeked in the windows). She also claims that I harassed her by calling several times in a day and not allowing her to call back. Though I did call her several times in a day (on a couple occasions) her voicemail was full so I called back to leave a message.
I plan to attempt a compromise (I am willing to give back some more of her security deposit, but not all of what she is demanding) but if she doesn't accept it, what should i do? I think it's somewhat convenient that she is claiming emotional distress after she moved out, and upon demanding more of her security deposit back. Does she have a case? Should I be contacting a lawyer?
