QUESTION
Will I be blamed for beach house damages caused by another?
Asked on Aug 01st, 2013 on Civil Litigation - Texas
More details to this question:
When we arrived at our beach house rental for vacation, we were constantly finding things wrong/damaged throughout our stay. At the end of our stay, I planned on sending a list of what I found in hopes of getting partial/full reimbursement. Before I got back home, I was bombarded by several, harrassing, rude, offensive, un-professional voicemails and texts from owners threatening to send me an invoice for the/all damages they found after we left the place.

Did you actually receive an invoice or were you simply threatened with one?
I would recommend taking pictures in situations like this. If upon move in you had taken pictures of the premises and brought them to the owner's attention, this misunderstanding could have been avoided. As it is, it is going to be your word against the owner's unless you have witnesses who can corroborate your story about the condition of the rental when you first arrived.
