HI,
I live in an RS apartment and did not receive a signed copy of my lease returned to me, they did furnish me with a timely renewal and I sent it back right away. I emailed them asking about it and they said they did not get it but would "check the mailbox".I had sent my original signed copy certified. My fault for not hounding them, I just forgot about it, I have trusted them till now because they have been decent.
I just noticed they have been withholding rent since June ( lease renews 7/1). I am on direct deposit and don't check that account much because it is just for rent. My fault I know.
Also of note, I have been to court before for harassment by the previous building owners over my RS apartment and I won. I know the laws pretty well but this was a decade ago so could use a "refresher". I realize there is some negligence here on my part, some of this slipped through the cracks with covid stress and I am afraid by not being on top of them I have let too much time elapse and let them sneak a fast one on me. What is my next move ? I have emailed them asking what is going on.
Any advice appreciated.
thank you !
