So I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, the apartment themselves are nice but i've had major issues with them actually accepting payment on time. Don't get this wrong, it's not that my checks are not being accepted, not at all.
One time I paid my rent on the 2nd (10% late payment charge is on the 5th) before going to visit my parents for a few days. I came back on the 7th and I had a note on my door saying I had a $56 charge for a late rent payment.
Here's the kicker: I had my rent withdrawal (i even looked at my rent price, it was the exact same) come out on the 4th.
After about 10 mins of nothing actually happening with the office I just decided fug it and paid the late fee.
Fast Forward 2 months after that last event, somehow my apartment got bed bugs, nothing major. Got it treated and I was expecting to be charged. I did, $300 which I didn't have the money for because of apprenticeship. I went to the office and I had went to work out a payment plan for that, they said I could pay it off $100 a month which was perfect for me. So I did that, they had supposedly put it in the system which I even saw...
...1 week later I got a 3 day pay or leave notice for $326.69 (uh guys i dont think that's how 10% works)
Went to the office again: guess what, nothing except getting that $100 they actually charged me to be taken out of the $326.
I just said forget it and took out a small loan (essentially doing the same thing as the payment plan except with interest) to pay it off and asked how long it was till my lease expired.
Is what they're doing even loving legal anyways? What do I even do if they attempt this stuff again?
