Can my landlord do this?

Frank | Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 7:44 am

My sprinkler head started leaking and my neighbor was affected by this. My landlord wants me to pay half of the bill of my neighbors damages because I didn’t report the problem to the emergency line.

$280 late charges after check returned because of fraud. Extenuating circumstances?

tyler | Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 6:57 am

So, just like the title said, I have a $280 late fee incurred because the check I wrote was returned, because my checks had been stolen and so the account was frozen. This seems extremely excessive, but I guess I signed a lease saying I’d be a good lil !@#$% or they’ll toss me in […]
