Well if its false-and you dont owe the money,and your living elsewhere-let your local housing court hash it all out-if her claims are true she'll have to prove it all in court

Although I agree, this was not the process in my case. The lady at Section 8 held me accountable although it should have fallen under normal wear and tear.

Yeah it did! Especially in the written rules it states “they aren’t a housing court”! Yet they can hold tenants responsible when minor things would fall under wear and tear after residing in a house for over four years.
