Will I get my bond back?

Question

My house mate who owns the house I live in, has kicked me out of the house. She has given me four weeks notice before I will be evicted, and has demanded that I fully replace two towels that I used and washed in that time. When I washed one of them I accidentally put it with a red towel not understanding the consequences. The other towel was light blue and has now got a few pink splotches on it about the size of a child's fist.

The other towel has since gone missing.

I want to know if I legally have to replace these towels to get my bond back?

Thanks for answering, would really appreicate sources unless you know for sure. Thanks.

Answer 1

You would actually go to court over 2 TOWELS!

You messed up the towels, replace the darn things and move on.

The answer, is no, you would win the bond in a hearing, minus the costs of the towels.

But, you will spend more then they are worth and lose at least 3 days at the court house filling your papers, serving your law suit and going to the hearing.

This is amazingly petty, especially since you obviously did destroy them.
