I issued a 15-day non-renewal notice to my tenant due to a remodeling project to fix a water splashing problem. I placed her in an Airbnb for 3 nights, paying $580. She claimed the studio was uninhabitable due to mold, interfered with repairs, and did not let me in during scheduled assessments. She has not paid rent and is withholding it, claiming the place is uninhabitable. I sent her a 3-day notice to pay rent. The professionals found no mold, just water stains. Can I deduct the Airbnb expense from her deposit, and what can I do about the damage she caused by spreading lies to other tenants?

The police officer determined it couldn't have been us due to the bow's strength and the shooting angle. The yard service person found and removed the arrow from the pool, causing damage. Were there any witnesses, and is there anything else the lawyer should know before connecting me?
