I was renting a property that had huge 6m high by 7m wide fabric blinds. When we entered the property we did not check to see the state of the blinds however upon leaving the property we have had the landlord claim $4k to replace the blind stating it was our cat that damaged them.
We do not see how it was possible our cat damaged them as they were literally never closed for the 5 months we had our cat in the property and were in fact hidden behind furniture for the explicit purpose of not allowing the cat to get to them.
Given neither party has evidence as to the state of the blinds when we moved in, can anyone advise what our rights are here?
Thanks!
