I can also see their point that what happened doesn't change the fact that you still owe them that set amount. I think -... View More

Dates of lease are 9/01/2023 to 07/31/2023. The apartment is trying to change lease terms on me now. They want to charge more for my pets but didn’t inform me prior to signing.

If you have a signed lease that stipulates the cost for your pets, the landlord generally cannot change these terms unilaterally during the lease period. If they attempt to, you could potentially sue for breach of contract.

Absolutely go to Court. Otherwise a Default Judgment will go down. Have proof that you paid the first month. Possibly agree to a lesser amount than sued for, but this is doubtful since you already agreed to it.
