Tenant Rights in Tennessee — Airbnb damage claim vs security deposit

Has anyone dealt with something like this in Tennessee? I'm not sure what my options are.

Airbnb damage claim vs security deposit. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 6 years. My monthly rent is $4,412. I have a written lease.

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

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
