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.

My landlord did something similar, she smelled weed in the interior lobby (which has 5 doors to different units) and immediately assumed it was me and gave me a write-up. She then did it again and gave me a 2nd warning. By the lease terms, after a third warning within a year she could have me evicted within 30 days.

Two issues though. I live in a legal state and she never claimed to smell weed smoke (which is against the lease terms) just weed itself (which is not). She also just assumed it was me when there are 4 other tenets, and I know what she’s talking about I could smell it too and it was so strong that you couldn’t tell what door it was coming from.

I brought up both of these issues and that she couldn’t prove anything about where the smell originated and never got a third warning.

(it was definitely my neighbor making edibles in oil/butter btw but I wasn't gonna rat them out, especially after they shared some with me)
