What is the name of your state? Florida
Tenant signed a lease that did not mention whether my condo was furnished or unfurnished but advertising stated that it was furnished in two places and I stated that on the phone with her and she saw the furniture as well before moving into the condo. I have Craigslist advertisements over the last four years that mention furnished but the pics of furniture have been removed. She moved in with all her furniture, moved all of my furniture into storage, paid for three months but refused to pay after that and stuck me with the keys and monthly fees for 9 months. I am making a claim against the security deposit for the fees and cost to move furniture back into condo. She is taking me to court because she states that the lease didn't mention furnished and that I should pay for her costs to moving it and three months to store! Does she have a case and would she win? She is a paralegal working for a real estate office! Security Deposit is $1,250. My claims total $2,000. I did co-mingle security deposit so would this forfeit my right to collect? This is the only rental I have though.
