Present her another check - along w/ a prepared receipt for her signature....It's now Nov 29 - that's 28 days of late fees, ouch!!!\n\nYou can't prove that you paid and she can't prove that you didn't.\n\nYou need to pay her ALL back rent & late fees and so she has no cause to start the eviction process......AND then, you can fight to get your late fees back.\n\nOr pay her Nov rent w/ a certified letter stating why you are not paying the late fees as well......And ask that she acknowledge in writing that you owe or don't owe the fees...You can have the judge settle that dispute too!\n\nSmall claims courts are for landlord/tenant disputes....Send a demand letter to her for the return of your late fees w/in 10 business days....On the morning on the 11th Day go to Court and request a hearing date - then serve her via process server and mail\n\nDO ALL this if and only if you can prove your position....A good argument would be if you've paid previous months on time as instructed.\n\nI evicted a tenant w/out lawyers and while intimidating, the process is really tenant friendly....google your state and landlord/tenant laws and find out what your options are.....\n\nAlso, in some states, late fees can only be charged if they are "reasonable".....it's not defined in the statutes what "reasonable" is.....other states prohibit late fees if they are not specified in the lease.......FIND OUT - BE an informed tenant.

1.  File a police report about the items you left and they money that is owed.  Give the police the details of the theft...and when you purchased the things that were stolen...and anyswer any questions they have.\n\n2.  Take her to small claims court in your jurisdiction, and file PRO SE (BY YOURSELF).\n\n3.  Prove that you evicted her legally...hopefully you looked up the regulations and laws in your area.\n\n4.  You have a right to send her notice that she owes you the money, and you have a right to contact for the money.\n\n5.  Keep very good records of the items stolen, and the money received and when she paid in the past.  Take pictures of the damage.  Get estimates of what it costs to fix it.\n\n6.  Write down what she said, where she said and bring that to court.\n\n7.  You may realize that she will say she doesn't have money to pay....however the judge may enter a judgement for you...and sometimes you can even put it against her car.\n\nGood luck - and I had that for over 20 years...with 5 properties...and I got very tired...of the attitude...they think they own the place.\nHey, if they trash your place, they will do it to their own place..it's all a matter of time.

Call your landlord and creditors immediately and explain your problem.  You may have to pay late fees, but usually they will hold off on collecting as long as they know you're willing to pay.  Good luck!

Sounds like you were treated very poorly indeed.  I agree with contacting someone with some juice at the department, but likely the best you're going to do is reach someone in lower management to take your complaint.  Probably not going to get much satisfaction there.\n\nCertainly can write the paper, though it's doubtful a letter in the paper is going to change the way they do business.\n\nTry making an appointment to talk to the highest-ranking person in the department.  Tell them you don't want to make a formal complaint (formal complaints probably have a "process" they have to go through, and that's likely going to involve talking to someone who can't make the kind of changes you want to have made), you only want to alert this person to the situation you experienced.  You may have to be insistent, because it's likely the minute they hear the word "complaint", they're probably going to want to run you through the complaint process.  \n\nAnother option is to try and talk to someone within the City (you didn't say where you are, but if you're in a city, you probably have something like a mayor's office).  If you can get to someone there, you'll probably be talking to someone who at least has the ear of the person who hires/fires the Chief.\n\nGood luck.  I'm very sorry you had such a terrible experience.\n\nPS - someone is bound to get on here and tell you to run for the hills, hide from the cops, don't tell anyone until you've delivered three signed copies of your statement to an attorney and a priest, and be extremely paranoid of the police from now on if you make the complaint.  \n\nWhatever.  You've got to do whatever you think is right.  I think you need to be heard and then move on with your life.

Have you actually talked to the manager of the store?  Make copies of all your receipts and insist on talking to the manager in person.  Have copies of the receipts with you.  What probably happened is that you got charged by mistake with a late payment fee or something like that.

You are looking for a Property Manager. Without knowing where you are located, my best advice is to do a search for "Property Management, city, state". Be sure to contact a few and ask what percentage they charge, if they will get the property rent-ready, what upfront fees are charged.

First, I sure get tired of folks responding to questions as if they were text messaging you; I wonder if they can properly spell anything. Second, each state has slightly different laws regarding personal property and tenancy. I also have a feeling you left a few details out; the owner of the property where your "house" or trailer was/is sitting on, is a rented space to you (Lessee) owned by the Lessor.  You must have recieved multiple notices regarding the issue of your back lot rent, and THEN it went to Small Claims Court.  The Judge in Small Claims must have had your "paid up" receipts of record, (if you bothered to show up)or not-if not, the Lessor (owner of the property) would have won the small claims case, then she/he (Lesor)would have had an additional request, through another court, at another date later, to request seizure of your property to pay the back owed bills.***** They can only do this if they have proved you had received Notices of these actions.**** The only way they could have had the utilities turned off is if they ended up owning YOUR property in this very legal way.  Seek free legal help from your community legal program; there is pro bono in just about every city in the USA.

She's already shown that she cannot be trusted if she gave you a bad ck.  If you call her at all, It should be to let her know that you will not accept another personal ck for return of deposit. Request that she give you a certified ck or money order.\n\nAfter the 45 day, just take her to court, let them deal with her as she has already shown a lack of respect to you by neglecting her obligations as your landlord.

can you charge them for miss conduct? they promised to do a job they haven't done?\n\nis it the agencies responsibility to clear mess left by a tenant? isn't that why private tenants pay security deposits?\n\nask a solicitor, you will get 30Min's free from some. nothing is worse than a ripped off feeling, i do hope you get sorted soon and maybe you should raise your security deposits to cover any losses in the future. there are some really nasty people out there.

First thing, talk to the manager, of the real estate business. If they can't resolve the issue, I would report it to the Better Business Bureau. It wouldn't hurt, to tell\nwhat happened, to a lawyer.

When we rented we always called the landloard for any problem.  \nIf he told us to get things fixed I would ask for him to recommend the repair man.  When the repairman came I would ask the landlord to be there.  The landlord knew what was going on and he was the one who would OK any repairs and then pay the bills.  \nI do not know how you went about doing the repairs and if you would be responsible or not....Sorry...  \n\nI would think since it was a problem with the plumbing that it would be the landlords responsibility but I will bet that he is not willing to pay the bill now....

As one attorney always told where is the foal? If this has hurt your credit, or damaged you from consideration for the new rental unit, you may have a case and my suggestion is to contact a an attorney who knows real estate law.\n\nGood luck

Check your lease terms. I am sure that your landlord and manager would understand. Don't forget to give a proper notice in advance.

Go to the local District courthouse, it shouldn’t be to difficult. Don't go to an attorney, its probably under $2000 you don’t want to give half of that away to an attorney do you?\n\nGranted, attorney's can be very helpful in situations, but in small legal situations such as this you can do it.\n\nAlso, have you just tried telling the property owner that if they dont pay up then serious legal action will occur, with potential severe legal penalties? That my scare them into coming up with your money.\n\nP.S. Don't take a check, cash or a cashiers check only.

you need to contact your local 211 information and referral line and ask them how to contact the agency in your area for fair housing. i used to work for such a place and they investigate situations like that, when landlords screw you over. they will tell you who to network with to get your life back together and get some forced compensation if possible, from your landlord.

Wow, what a strange situation.\nIn general, landlords MAY NOT engage in "self-help" (i.e. throwing your stuff out the door) when a residential tenant fails to pay rent.  Assuming that your lady actually has rights to sub-lease the property to you, her only action would be to file an eviction / unlawful detainer action, with notice to you to cure the rent deficiency. Failure to do so gives you a cause of action  against her, especially if you incurred any damage to your property, etc.\nBut this situation is complicated by the fact that (a) you're a roommate and not just a tenant, (b) she is clearly nuts, and (c) she may or may not have the ability to lease / sublease the place to you anyway.  \nSince it doesn't sound like you have a written lease, but rather a week-to-week lease, it's certainly best if you get out of there ASAP.  (I know that's kind of a bummer, since you probably are getting a good deal.) \nThese landlord / tenant disputes are one of the areas of expertise of Legal Aid -- they can usually help you if you cannot afford an attorney.  Good luck.
