Rabbit peed on a small spot of cushion on the couch...landlord wants me to pay for a deluxe cleaning!?

He peed on a small spot while sitting on my lap because her dog came running up the stairs (came home unexpectialy). I offered to get the spot cleaned (even though it was small). She sends me an e-mail saying that I owe her 250 for the cleaning! She got the whole couch cleaned, and the loveseat also cleaned that the bunny didn't even have an accident on. I feel as though she is taking advantage of this. What should I say or do? I offered to clean the spot where he peed (one cushion) not her whole living room set!!
Answers:
Simply ask for a reciept and the company who cleaned the couch
call the company and see how much it cost to clean just the one cushion then offer her the amount it would cost
mention that you are sorry your rabbit had an accident on the couch but when you offered you did not mean the entire living room set
I think you should only have to pay for the cushion that the rabbit peed on, you do not owe her a full living room set cleaning. So no dont pay her 250 dollars if anything pay her 50. Good Luck!
tell her that you will not pay 250 but you will pay like 15 for the one couch cushion.
yeah just pay $50...it was up to her to get the set cleaned even tho it didnt need it...you dont owe her $250 shes just trying to get some money...
ask her for proof she spent $250 like a reciept or something
cuz if she only spent like $150 you can sue her
($250 sounds like a lot to clean a couch and a loveseat)
ohh and she cant make you pay $250...if you have to go to court
and it could not have been that big of a mess...i have a rabbit also and she dosent make a big mess when she pee's...
and shes a 8lbs rabbit...
I would tell her no .. That you will pay for the 1 cushion and that is it.. And really this should have been worked out before they came to clean it.. she jumped the gun or she is trying to make you pay for something that needed to be done anyways.. Offer her 25-40 dollars if even that for the cushoin cleaning.. do you know who cleaned her furniture call them and ask them what each piece cost to have done and break it down to your portion would even better if you could get a copy of the billing and the services done.. Good luck
wow! try at least being friends, so non-enemies will have consideration for each other...
have another way of cleaning, and convince her this "special way" was expensive and the best for this situation!
you may find this won't be as truthful, but I doubt you'll ever pay that much for cleaning!
p.s. offer this lady ..."since i did this___ for your coach, is there anything I can do/get for you to show how sorry I am?"
Yes, she's taking advantage of it.
If you can, wherever she had it cleaned, call and ask what it would cost to get something (sofa) cleaned. I wonder if she really had it cleaned at all.
