I went through this before. The management company asked me to pay $1700. They did file a law suit against me at the court. I sent a letter to the court saying that I will be at the court with them. That was a year ago. I never heard anything from anyone after that. I guess the company just wanted to threaten me. When they see that I am not afraid of them. They backed off.
My case was that we spent one day after moving to clean the unit and invited the super to check. We handed over the keys after she said "OK". 45 days after, we received a letter to claim so called damage.
