Lease Agreement Dispute Resolution
Summary
If you overpaid rent due to a lease error, you may have grounds for legal action. Review your lease, document communications, and gather evidence of overpayments. Consider consulting a lawyer for guidance. Additionally, if your landlord is under investigation for discrimination and retaliation, continue cooperating with the Tennessee Human Rights Commission. Criminal charges could be possible if fraud or tax evasion is involved. Report any criminal activity to law enforcement and consult your lawyer for further steps.Full Conversation
My landlord refused to correct our lease.. it said the total sum for the agreed rental term of 1 year was $*. The total sum is to be paid in advance or in monthly payments in the amount of $* until the total sum is satisfied…. After numerous attempts to have the mistake fixed, It was never addressed or corrected… I began to question if it was some sort of tax evasion,
