A FINAL WORD ON CAUTION ABOUT COUNTERCLAIMS
If you raise a counterclaim and the court finds that the counterclaim has no merit and is not raised in good faith, then the landlord may recover, in addition to actual damages, reasonable attorney's fees.
Failure to maintain counterclaims can be technical, so you should consult with an attorney to determine whether or not you have one.
