When I signed my lease in March of I was told verbally that I would be paying 1208.00 a month. I signed my lease with trust that that was what I would be paying and I did for 9 months, then on the 19th of Dec. I recieved a letter on my door stating that my rent will be raised to 1703.39 because I have been paying the wrong amount for the last 9 months and was shorting the managment 169.00 a month. So to fix this problem they would for the last 3 months of my lease devide the amount up and add it to my correct amount of rent which they stated was 1375.00 which then made my rent 1703.39. I went to talk to them the very next day and when I looked at my lease and theirs there were no numbers stating 1208.00 a month or 1375.00 a month, so now I have no proof what was told to me except that I have been paying 1208.00 for the last 9 months by check, which they cashed without hesitation or without telling me it was the wrong amount. I feel that this is wrong ethically and morally yet when I told them that if it was a mistake made by them they need to cut the cost and I would happily pay the 1375.00 a month, if that was the real rent for the last 3 months of my lease, but seeing that I was never told this I should not be held responsible to pay for a mistake they in the office made. Now I realise that when I do move out at the end of my lease I could lose my deposit because of this complaint but I simply can not allow this to happen to someone else without me saying somthing, that would not be right.
