    I think my building manager is trying to get over on me!
    Last year, I did not pay one months rent because my apt was terrible and couldn't be used for the purposes intended. I ended up owing them $800. I paid that off in full. Now a year and over $1,500 later, I am still in the hole with them for some reason. I've paid my rent each month since then. They even sent a letter saying the judgement was satisfied. I talked to the leasing office about why I was still get eviction notices and says its because I'm being charged a late fee every month on my rent for not paying the court fees. Is this legal? My rent and court fees are two separate entities.

    Yes and I paid my judgement off$800 off in full that included the court fees but somehow they still say I owe them money after I received a letter from the court saying the judgement was satisfied. Literally two days after I got that letter they were sending more eviction notices and another court paper...
