CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO
ORGANO ORLANDO : Case No. 20CVG02666
Plaintiff (landlord)
:
vs. Judge ________________________

______________________________
Defendant (tenants)
ANSWER OF DEFENDANT
ANSWER
1.Defendant denies owing Plaintiff the amount of money alleged in Plaintiff’s
Complaint.
2. Defendants’ reasons for denying that this amount money is owed include the
following:
Defendant(s) paid a security deposit of $2495.00 that has not been credited or
otherwise returned to Defendant.
Defendant(s) paid a security deposit in the amount of $___________ that has been
wrongfully withheld from the Defendants and therefore, pursuant to
O.R.C.5321.16, twice the amount of the security deposit, or $____________,
should be returned to the Defendants, or credited against any amount found due
and owing.
The late charges Plaintiff claims are owed are unconscionable (they bear no
relation to the minor financial damage (e.g. loss of interest) Plaintiff suffered as a
result of the late payment).
2. Defendant did not cause damage to the rental property beyond normal wear and
tear, nor was any damage to the rental property due to the negligent or intentional
acts of Defendant or Defendant’s guests.
The following additional reasons:

Wherefore, Defendant(s) request that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed, at
Plaintiff’s cost.
