My question involves an eviction in the state of: Ohio
My landlord's agent is threatening to evict me because I have not paid her money she refuses to provide documentation for. Long story inbound:
My landlord's agent left a handwritten note on my back door a couple of months ago alleging I owed her $120.00 for a water bill and an unnamed amount for "fines" incurred by my lawn. Having never heard a thing about this, I called her to find out what was going on. She alleged that she left "countless notices" on our door and that we had neglected to contact her. I've never received one of these "countless notices," which were later determined to be handwritten notes that she tucked in the door, when the lease specifies all notices MUST be sent certified mail. Whether they blew away or she tucked them in, photographed them, and removed them I am not sure, I just know I did not receive them at all. The water bill was a bit of a clerical error on the City's part, so we only received a disconnect notice for nonpayment in the owner's name. When we called the city to figure out the issue, it had already been paid, and we told her that we would be fine paying it if she could verify the amount they paid the city because the bill we were issued was for $89.39, not $120. She said she would provide that and the documentation for the fines, though I am not sure if we are responsible for them because she alleged that they were for "trash" - she left a car door and a broken table in our backyard when we moved in, we have moved them to a different spot but I do not find it to be my responsibility to dispose of her items. Still, I didn't hear from her in over a month. We never received documentation of anything.
Out of the blue, I get a text message from her saying we need to add the $102 (not $120 like she originally stated) to our rent for this month. I did not respond to this message.
Yesterday, I got a text message from her berating me for not paying the $92 (not $102 or $120) on top of my rent for the water bill. I again asked her for confirmation of the amount with a copy of the bill, and told her that I would pay it once I could confirm the amount. She told me that she "would get it when she could" but that I still owed the $90 (not $92, $102, or $120). Finally she sent me a picture of the bill, confirming the $89.39, and stating that "it's ridiculous I expected her to provide it, when I already had a copy." I asked her about the varying amounts and whether I would be receiving documentation for these fines I had asked her for, to which she said she would "drop it on my porch." I asked her to please mail them, because when she just leaves things I usually don't get them, and she refused. I am not sure if that counts as a breach of the lease because they are documents verifying an amount she wants instead of a notice, but I digress. I asked her again to please mail them, and was told that if I did not stop being a pain in her ass that I would be served a 3-day notice tomorrow (today) when she came to drop these documents off.
Today, I took the day off from work to be here when she shows up so I can verify I am getting this documentation, and she never showed up. I gave her a call and she claims that her son broke his ankle so she wasn't able to come down today. I informed her that I need this documentation, and that she can just put it in the mail and not have to make a drive out here to hand it to me, and she refused. She berated me for not having paid the water bill yet, which I informed her I would provide her a check for when she comes to deliver this documentation because I was unable to drive to the bank today. She told me that she'd get me the documents "whenever (she) could" and proceeded to cuss me out about how I don't get to tell her what to do and how I need to stop acting like such a bitch and be an adult. I am not sure if when she finally drags herself out here she will hold true to delivering that notice or not, but I have tried to reason with her and pay her for what she alleges I owe and she is making it very difficult. Honestly at this point I doubt I will ever see any of this documentation, and that she is just going to try to evict me because she is sick of me needling her to provide it.
Do I have any recourse at all? Honestly, I am sick of dealing with her at this point and would be amicable to just breaking the lease on even terms and moving on, but I have a feeling we are going to end up in court. We pay our rent on time every month, and pretty much keep to ourselves, so I don't know if she is even required to provide a 3-day or a 30-day notice from what I was reading. Any insight is appreciated.
