A Moral Dilemma. What Would You Do In My Situation?

[BankNote]

hi guys

The discussion with the owner did not go well.

He indeed said that when the sofa had the first tiny crack ..I should have informed him immediately rather than informing him on the last day when the sofa is not usable..

The 2nd thing about the chair he said, the cane probably broken because of the keychain or something in my back pocket.

For the wooden floor, he insisted I did not switch off the water in time and allowed the floor to flood long enough!

--

He is persisting that i need to pay.

I tried to reason all these things as above you guys suggested, but he did not listen!

He however said that the bill will be small. eg a part of the sofa will be repaired..not the whole..//

I dont want to tell him to "F.off" but I dont know what more to tell him! He speaks fluent English ...so no communication problem either.

Any kind of final suggestions from you guys on how to end the matter amicably?

The good things :-

1. He was super polite throughout.
2. He had trusted me to give me a apartment without a security deposit.

hopefully he is a forgien owner, if not he is fishing for a compromise. don't know argentine law, but think if in your heart and mind it was ordinary wear and tear, its just part of owning an apartment. I have had problems with all three as an owner. I assume responsibility for damage from plumbing problems and the quality of the furniture I buy. walk...unless you put a " banana in the tailpipe". eddie murphy. ask rich one. good luck
