Forum / State Landlord Tenant Law / deposit refund
My tenant left me with bedbugs, I got an estimate for treatment that could reach 1300, since the exterminator could not determine if the bugs were there or they brought them in I split the cost for potential treatment and deducted from the deposit. She is taking me to small claims court, is that wrong to do.

RE: deposit refund
What did your lease say, regarding pest control services? Some state it's the tenant's responsibility, in which case you'd have a leg to stand on in court.
