The landlord is definitely charging us more than we owe. We should owe no more than $2000 but the warrent says $3260. Should I just wait and go to court and see what happens? I figured the worst that could happen would be we would have to pay so it might be worth at least going to fight it. Would not having a written agreement such as a lease help us in court? What should I do?
