MODERATORS
Disagree: You cannot safely ignore this, because it is not a normal invoice and not some primitive nutjob.
There is a lawyer behind it, and this lawyer wants to get paid. Something that does not go away by itself.
It is just a lawyer - they can ask and demand anything they like. If it's unjustified (like here for example) just ignore it.
If it's something from COURT, you HAVE to answer it. But lawyers - don't give them more credit than they deserve
What do you know about this case that we don't know?
Context
The OP is living there for three months. Even IF they are the dirtiest of all tenants (which is unlikely, but still possible), if we take into regard you need at least a month or two to settle and get your essential furniture in place, the remaining time is WAY too short to state something like "kind" strikes or advisories first - which is kinda required for such a formal step through a lawyer if you want to make it grounded and with actual reason.
The whole matter does sound like a xenophobic lady with too much time and a very short fuse - and a personal friend of her or her family being the lawyer responsible for the whole matter. That's why I would simply ignore it for the time being.
you can ignore it if it isn't a court mandated order. the lawyer wants to be paid, but they don't need to be paid by OOP. they're perfectly fine being paid by the harassing neighbor, which is what will happen eventually. there are always some of these harassment cases, and generally they go away if you just ignore them because there is no legal backing. the lawyer just scares you into compliance and if you pay that gets seen as an admission of guilt. there are several types of legal letters but most of them don't require responding at all.
I can go to a lawyer and tell them to write "8====D" on a letter, then send that letter to you.
If you don't think you did anything wrong, you can legally ignore anything that is not a formal letter from court.
It might be better to answer to tell them that you will not accept slander and libel and all that, but you should probably ask a lawyer for that. An hour of consultation should not cost that much, really.
This is very very much wrong.
Here's what would probably happen:
Enjoy doing everything through the courts now, which will always cause higher costs than dealing with it privately. Especially if you aren't 100% in the right.
From all the nonsense that has been written in this thread...
... this one is clearly among the worst.
OP is not sure whether it was wrong. He hasn't even read all the rules of the house yet. Just guessed them...
And he needs to look at his money. But by ignoring arbitrary letters, you can easily make things a whole lot more costly in the end.
