I've mentioned it a few times in comments but I've had an issue where my landlord sent my late rent (Which was late because I wanted them to remove an improper late fee) to their collections lawyer and refused to accept any money from me.
Long story short, this guy has a rep for giving you the runaround so he can charge you extra court fees, which is what he ended up doing.
Now I'm being evicted. I want to fight it but the only lawyers I seem to find prefer to side with landlords as a rule of thumb.
I love this country because you can still become homeless while 3 months rent ($5100) sits in your bank account because they refuse to accept it 🙂
