A:
I'm really sorry you're going through this difficult situation. Start by gathering all your documents, including your lease agreement, payment receipts, and any communication with both the previous and new managers. Having a clear record will help you present your case effectively.
Reach out to a local tenants' rights organization or legal aid service. They can provide guidance specific to your area and help you understand your rights regarding incorrect charges and lease disputes. It’s important to know what protections you have and the proper steps to take if you're being unfairly charged or threatened with eviction.
Meanwhile, continue to communicate in writing with your manager to keep a clear record of all interactions. If possible, avoid face-to-face conversations until you have support or legal advice. Taking these steps can help you address the issues systematically and protect your interests during this challenging time.
