Q: My previous landlord charged me a fee for not paying rent on time on my last month before the lease was sch. to end.
The rent WAS paid on time and can be shown in my banking records. I refused to pay this fee, they insisted and eventually got an eviction notice from a judge, which I never recv'd notice until it was too late to go to eviction court. I am going about this by myself with little practical legal knowledge and wonder how best to approach this? I am thinking this is a contract law violation that could be cited and perhaps once gathered together in a letter with the bank records would oblige them to settle early. Thanks for reviewing and responding.
