I have an old landlord that my charged me 2500 more because I was using his property for a board and care. Now he denies that he gave me to permission to now what he calls"sublet". I get paid threw the state and they changed our date of pay to be after the 10th which was agreed according to our lease. He jumped the late fees up to $250.00 even though he got his rent as soon as I got it. He served my kids fathers property (with tenants in it). I do not live there, however the guy only knows my po box address. My kids dad only goes by there to collect the rent once a month.for the December collection, they gave him a summons from this landlord for November. There was a default against me for not responding to it in a timely manner naturally.the judgement is for 198k. What do you think about this

If someone accepted service on your behalf, then your issue is with them.

I find it highly unlikely that he obtained a $198,000 judgment against you especially by default.

If you were late on rent, then he is allowed to charge you the late fees. Just because the government changes the date you receive your money from them doesn't allow you to re-write your lease agreement.
