I am being taken to small claims court for breaking a lease agreement. The final incident that caused me to move out was a bat in the living room and bedroom. When I notified the owner, she and her fiance came over and got the bat out (I didn't see it happen) and put plastic bags in 2 living room floor vents and that was it. There was also a "funny" musty odor in the house that I noticed prior to this and brought to her attention, which makes me wonder if it was from bats. Since she had no reaction to the bat in the house it also makes me wonder if she knew about this. There were also several other "conditions" in the house that seemed unsafe to me. In researching rental agreement provisions, this agreement did not have a lead paint disclosure or a MI required Truth in Renting Act statement. Then I found out that the place has never been inspected by the building inspector. My question is if a rental agreement even existed, since it should not have been rented out. She is also "pretending" that this is her principle residence to keep a homestead exemption. She even mis-spelled my last name on the small claims filing. She has made my life extremely miserable and I don't want her to do this to anyone else. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks from MI.
