A: I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Gather all relevant documentation to support your position. Discuss the lawyer's claim for $5000 and explore options with Legal Aid or another attorney. Document instances of harassment and consult with a lawyer to address it legally. They can guide you on your rights and possible remedies. Seeking legal advice will help you understand your options and find a resolution.
A: You should definitely consult with a landlord/ tenant attorney who can review all your documents and provide proper legal advice based on your specific situation. Most offer free consultations so take them up on it sooner rather than later. If it is determined that they are trying to collect on a debt you do not own, you should next consult with a consumer protection attorney (free consultations and most take cases on contingency).
