Tenant Tweets and is sued for libel by landlord

An apartment management company in Illinois has sued a tenant for libel over a "malicious and defamatory" tweet about the state of her apartment to her 20 followers on Twitter.
Chicago Bar-Tender has the complaint (PDF) filed by Horizon Group Management against Amanda Bonnen, who was a tenant in one of its Chicago buildings. The complaint notes that the @abonnen account named in the complaint had only 20 followers (the account appears to no longer be live). The blog also has a screen shot of @abonnen's May 12 tweet reply:
"You should just come anyway. Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it's OK."
