I moved into a house in March 2004 I signed a 1 year lease.When I moved in my landlord told me to go ahead and hang as much stuff on the walls as I wanted because he was going to paint when i moved out because he didn't have time to paint when I moved in.After I moved in he started showing up without giving any notice he would come in the summer and hook up my water hose and water his plants in the front yard 2 or 3 times a month for an hour and a half even though I was the one paying the water bill.It did not say anything about this in the lease.He would always talk down to me if my husband was gone.One day I had my front door open and I guess he drove by and called me asked me why I had the front door open and then just started griping about it.It stated in the lease that he would come and spray once a month after giving us notice he had not done this in 7 months my neighbors had roaches bad and they sprayed their house and I guess they came over to my house so I called and told him.He came and started talking crap to me so I told him we were moving he said that was fine 4 days later we left.Now he is threatning to take me to court saying I owe him$317 and that's after he kept my $400 deposit he charged me $200 for moving with no notice which was fine I don't care about that I was just glad to get out of there but he is also charging me $100 for pest spray which I think he should have to pay for because it said he would in the lease and we stilled lived there when he sprayed he is charging me $97 for paint and $200 for labor for painting and cleaning when I left that house was clean I even filled in the nail holes so all he had to do was paint like he said he was going to.he charged me $50 for mowing and weedeating I did that the day before we left.
Should I go ahead and pay him or let him take me to court?
