We've been renting a house in our 10th month as of now. We just recieved a letter that we are now 10 consecutive months late with rent. Per the contract, late fee's are an additional $100 per month. They are claiming that we now owe $1,000 in late fees. This is not the case and I can prove so with cashed checks. I can also prove that the two months we were late, we paid the late fees, also by the cashed checks. What is your best advice about how to handle this? What would be the best tactic to approach him with. What can I do about the false letter. I CAN PROVE THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN LATE EVERY MONTH THAT I HAVE LIVED HERE BY THE DATE THE CHECKS WENT THROUGH MY BANK! Besides the fact that first months rent was due at move in, it is impossible for me to be 10 months behind! Please help direct me to some possible solutions. Thanks in advance.
