One of my tenants slipped & fell on my property. She was misusing a loft area used for storage to sleep in. The ladder went out from under her & she fell & injured her knee. In the court papers she filed, she is sueing me for lost wages yet she was unemployed and on SSI & Disability at the time. She has no earnings except SSI & Disability. Is this fraud? Aren't you supposed to report all additional income to Social Security. She also freely admitted to being at fault to numerous other tenants. Lastly, last week I met with her and we agreed on an amount to settle any claims, now or in the future. I wrote this agreement on the memo portion of the check, which we both signed. 2 days later I recieved papers from her atty. wanting 6,500,00 bucks. What to do?
