When the landlord sued for an amount in excess of the deposit plus the deposit, the tenant was required to defend or be subject to a default plus an award of attorney fees. The landlord did not prevail upon that contention, among others, and hence was not entitled to attorney fees on that basis. Had the landlord prevailed, she would be entitled to attorney fees. Thus, the tenant should be able to defend and be awarded her reasonable attorney fees for that defense if she prevails. Here, she did get a partial return of her deposit.
