Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: Prior to signing the current lease I have, I paid the owner directly. I signed a contract with an agent in April and now the owner claims I did not pay for Jan., Feb., or March. Now the agent is adding $2,700 for those three months. Can she add on fees to my current contract if those were fees I paid before signing with her?

Answer: It is unclear what the relationship between the owner and the agent is. It might be useful to speak about this in more detail with an attorney. It will be helpful if you have receipts or other proof of your previous payments. There are links to free and low-cost legal services on this website (at http://www.azlawhelp.org/accessToJustice).
