Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

Airbnb damage claim vs security deposit. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 5 years. My monthly rent is $1,915. I have a written lease.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.
