Update to the landlord charging me for the cabinet wood damage situation

From this thread

Here is the follow-up where I told her that she has no legal basis to charge me for this

She showed up today, and she said, "I don't know what else to do but replace it entirely, so if you want to save your money, you can find a way to fix it yourself." This implies that she is still clinging onto the baseless premise that I must've been responsible for this, something she has absolutely zero evidence for and is using her vibes as the source of the belief.

I told her that I will find a cheaper solution and get back to her within a week.

(However, to be clear, I am not going to try to actually implement any DIY fixes because I know that could make me liable if I actually do cause damage in the process.)

What I'm actually going to do, instead, is contact her in a week to let her know that she still has no legal basis to charge me for this and that she is free to replace it, but it cannot come out of my money without sufficient evidence that this is beyond normal wear-and-tear.

Basically, I'll just be reiterating what I already said.
