This took place in Chicago's Cook County.
My subleaser broke our rental agreement. My landlord filed for eviction, but she claims she had already given him a notice to legally break the lease as instructed by her lawyer. She also claims there were issues with spiders and ants that made the apartment uninhabitable. She showed me a few pics, but they only showed 2 spiders. I haven't had any issues with my landlord or apartment.
Because she could not reach me the week before she moved which was over a month before she was suppose to, she says she felt her security deposit would not be returned (the sublease agreement says I would return it to her by 9/7/17, one week after the lease is up). So she stole my mid century wood credenza, my bar, table, chairs, rugs, all my paintings, everything. She claims its all worth about $1000 so we're even. The credenza alone was $1200. I have receipts for all my belongings. I do not have her new address.
All my conversations with her took place via text.
Any advice on what I should do?
