Hello JacQuelan Hannah, welcome to FreeLawChat. How may I assist you with your legal queries today?
I have a rental property that requested I vacate the premises. I complied with the request in the alaudid amount of time but the property has continued to charge me an additional 2 months worth of rent as well as charge late fees. I have a proof of the request as well as proof that I did indeed move with my new lease. I have reached out to the property and they have removed 1 month but not the other. I also am now concerned with my credit, rental and payment history.
