Q: I recently paid my rent for it to be rejected even after I got a confirmation number and 5 days later...
landlord says it was due to insuffient funds but my bank says they never attempted to take the money and I know I had more then enough money for it to go throw.
When I attempted to repay my rent I found they had added another bill to it and then trying to charge me an NSF fee and late charge. I know this cant be legal. right? can someone please explain to be what law this would fall under. Thank you
A: You have a fact dispute, whether you paid rent with NSF funds. Get your proof from your bank. Take the notice to the landlord and try to resolve the matter. The whole thing will end up in Justice Court if you cannot resolve it with the landlord. Yours is a question of "proof", not "law". Settle the facts on your side and this should go away.
