I rented an apartment from said landlady. Our aggreed upon rent was 325.00. We paid our first months rent and equal deposit upon signing. In our lease it stated that rent is due the 1st of the month, if not post marked on the 1st, a 25$ late fee would be applied. She also stated if we ever needed to pay late to just let her know. In January of 2018 we had asked if we could pay half on the first and half a week later. Rather then answering us she immediately filled for eviction. Although rude, I understand. That was my mistake. On the last day of our move, we recieced court papers. She gave us no time to even give her the money to avoid court and its cost, but okay. Thats legal. We attended. After court it had dawned on me that we paid a security deposit.
I called her and said "we are entitled to our deposit as our lease states, correct?" "That can be applied to what we owe you, and then some." And her response was "I suppose." As of she was hoping we forgot. She was going to pocket our deposit. All should have been even. We are now receiving wild bills from collectors stating we owe over 900 dollars to her. We have tried repeatedly to contact her to seek the reasons for these charges to no avail. She ignore our calls and messages. We have never been disrespectful or uncooperative. We're just young first time parents trying to make it. She treated us as if we were "below" her and is trying to make as much money any way she can. I encourage people to be careful!
