⚖️  Law

I live in Ohio and had a tenant who did not send a forwarding address in writing, only through text message and two weeks after moving out. She has sought legal representation for her deposit being wrongfully held. She had violated the lease agreement on several occasions and had an unauthorized pet. There are over $2000 in damages to the house. Should I seek legal counsel and what are the rules regarding message notification? Is this considered 'in writing'?
