Backdrop: My landlord is trying to make me liable for the last inventory check he did in 2009 when my lease only began in 2012 and ended 2013. He is also now claiming he reminded me many times that subleasing was not allowed (I subleased bc I had to move for an internship). He did no such thing. Could someone please help me translate this letter below into German so I can respond quickly to the complaint he filed against me.
"Since the beginning of the lease for XYZ, Mrs. Mann has always been handling the affairs and communicating with me, not Mr. Mann (proof in emails and witnesses). Now at the end he is making claims that are not true to try to take advantage of me because I am a foreign student.
As for the letter from Feb. 23 2012, I never received this and have never seen it before. My name along with my roommate's was not placed on the mailbox until the beginning of March (my roommate can confirm this). My lease began in 2012 so the last inventory check done in 2009, 3 years before I moved in, does not apply to me. I am not liable for any damage that occurred before my lease started. It was the landlord's responsibility to do an inventory check at the beginning of the new lease and she failed to do so when I moved in. Now, Mr. mann wants to make me liable so he can charge me for any damages that happened years before my lease began.
In regards to his claims saying that I was given reminders that subleasing was not allowed, these are lies. I notified Mrs. mann of my intent to sublease in June through email and I have her response approving it, including subsequent emails. The landlord was always well aware that I was subleasing. Mr. mann, who was never in contact with me, did not express the prohibition of subleasing in writing or orally. His claims are false and this is harrassment."
Would greatly appreciate the help as I know this is a mundane task!
