Update: I told the landlord she has no evidence that she can place the blame on me to say I'm responsible for this issue. (hexbear.net)

What do I get? 6 texts in a row of her fumbling to say a bunch of points after points that are hardly coherent.

She starts by saying that I'm responsible because I'm the only person who lives here, but that rhetoric does not hold up legally. Also, I'm not the only tenant who has EVER lived here, either, and she has not taken before/after pictures of this. She even admits that she's just assuming that I caused this by letting water run down the cabinet and not wiping it, but she does not have any actual evidence that's the case.

Then she says she'll let it dry and do an assessment in a couple of months, but this seems weird to me because if you see merit in letting it dry and doing an assessment in a couple of months, then why did you immediately jump to a $300-that-I-have-to-pay-for solution in the first place? Wouldn't you, instead, have supported waiting for it to dry FIRST and then see if that's the route we need to go? Why is this only coming up NOW?

She basically just concluded on saying that we'll wait and see, but she did this across 6 texts that just seemed panicky in the way she sent them out... one after another after another after another.

And me? I didn't respond a word.

I don't think I will.

Oh, I didn't even respond to those further texts yet. All I've done so far is text her my issues with her framing of this matter, and I specifically made sure to be very polite yet firm in doing so. That flurry of 6 texts she just sent me? I didn't say a word to it, especially since she concluded that this is something we're just gonna wait a few months on before we revisit. I don't have it in me to bite too hard (I've always been a very soft person), but I am certainly not just going to take it without me sticking up for myself at least a little.
