Update to the landlord charging me for the cabinet wood damage situation (hexbear.net)

From this thread

Here is the follow-up where I told her that she has no legal basis to charge me for this

She showed up today, and she said, "I don't know what else to do but replace it entirely, so if you want to save your money, you can find a way to fix it yourself." This implies that she is still clinging onto the baseless premise that I must've been responsible for this, something she has absolutely zero evidence for and is using her vibes as the source of the belief.

I told her that I will find a cheaper solution and get back to her within a week.

(However, to be clear, I am not going to try to actually implement any DIY fixes because I know that could make me liable if I actually do cause damage in the process.)

What I'm actually going to do, instead, is contact her in a week to let her know that she still has no legal basis to charge me for this and that she is free to replace it, but it cannot come out of my money without sufficient evidence that this is beyond normal wear-and-tear.

Basically, I'll just be reiterating what I already said.

Fuck landlords so much, they provide absolutely zero value to society. At least a petty bourgeois store owner gets to do some managing and business decisions and whatnot, a landlord simply exists and gets paid for it.

Yep.

Something I like to say about this landlord is that, even by landlord standards, she is a massive piece of shit.

She's terribly incompetent and unhelpful, bad at controlling her emotions, and doesn't use critical thinking where she needs to (like in this situation). I also sense that this Vietnamese gusano is terribly anti-Black and thinks I'd be too unaware to know of my rights in this case (even though I already demonstrated that I do).

She already makes a shitload of cash by exploiting people as a landlord, so I'm going to get a bit of satisfaction by telling her that I will not let her take this exploitation even further.

I just constantly remind myself that she has no legal grounds to stand on here. I've struggled with assertiveness my whole life, so this is not just something I'm doing for the sake of not letting her take more money than she should actually be able to, but it's also a lesson in me sticking up for myself.
