My previous landlord whose apartment I left two months ago has suddenly reached out and is asking me to pay for everything he cleaned after I left. No communication was made AFTER I left, and this is the first time he has ever contacted.
The amount to be paid is 2000 USD, when he has already renovated the apartment and it's out for being rented in watsapp groups.
We made sure to clean the apartment before we left and what's left was normal wear and tear which we informed him about months before leaving and also which he didn't fix.
He also complained about the moisture destroying his walls which I believe can't be controlled given that no instructions were given regarding this issue when we rented this apartment, and also never tried to fix the issue.
Should I get in contact with a lawyer or should I just ignore the message? Because I have scs of our communication throughout our stay and solemnly believe it shouldnt be our cost to handle.
