What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Rhode Island
Hi
My former tenant has sued me in small claims court (In Providence, Rhode island) for her security deposit which i believe she is not entitled to for the following reasons:
1.Tenant did not give proper notice :
a.No written notice, no forwarding address
b.barely 1 weeks notice on September 20th over the phone
2.Tenant did not vacate apartment until Tuesday October 6th - one week after she should have vacated. She should have been out by end of month Wed 30th.
a.She did not even start packing till Friday Oct 2nd.
b.People coming to view the apartment that week in the understanding that the apartment would be available 1st week of October weren't even sure she was moving. This made prospective tenants reluctant to take the apartment.
3.Tenant did not pay 1 month rent for late (essentially no notice)
4.Tenant did not pay 1 month rent for occupying apartment beyond termination of tenancy.
What are my rights and do these fact as laid out offer enough information for a counter claim?
Is there anything else I need to provide.
Thank you for your help.
