Was there a list of all items repaired? Were there receipts as proof of the work done and how much they cost? What does the lease agreement say about the repairs? If it’s normal wear and tear then she shouldn’t be paying for it. But a hole in the closet, some stains on the carpet, and possibly some markings on the wall (?) are not normal wear and tear. It would be best if she call a tenant union and file a complaint. RPA has that option so maybe she can check into it. This way, a mediator could come in between her and her ex-landlord to possibly solve the issue. I hope that helps!
