on */*/*, i was given notice to vacate by */*/* due to failure to pay rent. i did as told in the notice and vacated the premises with my belongings. i have made attempts to come to a payment agreement with the management, but my requests were met with silence. now, my landlord still added an address months rent to my balance owed almost a month after i was evicted. while i have no problem paying the original balance, can they legally require me to pay rent for a month after i had been evicted?
