Former Roommate Is Demanding $900 For A Couch She Left Behind 8 Months Ago
Location: Oregon
I lived with a roommate for two years. She moved out last August and left a couch, a bookshelf, and several boxes in the apartment. At first she said she would come get everything “that weekend,” but she kept canceling. I asked about it multiple times over text because I was renewing the lease alone and didn’t want to store her things forever.
In October she told me I could “do whatever” with the couch because she didn’t have space for it. I still kept the texts. The couch was old, had a broken leg, and took up half the living room, so in December I gave it away for free on Facebook Marketplace. The bookshelf and boxes were picked up by her brother in January.
Now she texted me saying the couch was expensive and she wants $900 or she’ll take me to small claims court. She says she only meant I could move it, not give it away. I sent her the screenshot where she said I could do whatever with it, and she replied that I knew what she “really meant.”
I don’t know if the text is enough to protect me, or if I should be worried because I got rid of property that was technically hers.
What should I keep for documentation, and is there anything I should do before she actually files?
