Q: If the apartment complex added unauthorized pet fees, after I gave her the survice pet certificate then added late fees
Because I was waiting for them to take off the unauthorized pet fees before I could pay the rent then took off the pet fees but not the late fees. But the rent would have been paid had they not added unauthorized charges do I have to pay the late fees?
A:
As long as you timely paid your rent minus the unauthorized pet fee, you should not owe any late fee.
On the other hand, if you didn’t timely pay your rent because of the additional unauthorized pet fee, you should still owe the late fee because you did not pay the undisputed amount owed on time.
