<prompt> Human: I live with my girlfriend and a roommate; our lease is ending at the end of March so were getting things in order to move. One of the things we got was the rental history from our current apartment, that weve been at for 2 years. There are 15 charges listed as late fees, that are cancelled out a few lines down with a line item that says something like lates due to not moving money. Which from our best guess means the property manager didnt transfer the money to the management company, and the automated system tacks the late fee on weekly. Regardless, we definitely didnt pay late. But that many late fees looks really, really, really bad. It looks like 5 months worth of late payments in 24 months of leasing. Our two biggest concerns: 1 Whats the best way to handle this when we have to show our rental history to new management? Get a letter from our current management saying its their fault, we werent late, and those are accounting errors? Ask them to somehow remove those fees and print us a clean rental history? 2 Weve checked our credit reports and dont see anything on there yet the charges were all from the summer of 2013. What are the odds this would end up on our credit? When do property managers report late payments? As it happens? Or once the lease is up? If it does end up on our credit reports, a letter from the management company should be enough to file a dispute and have the marks removed, right? One of my roommates is going to talk to someone in the office today, but Im going crazy waiting to hear from her and want to have a plan of action in case the management company isnt cooperative which they wont be, based on their history.  <response>: I think youre getting worked up about nothing. You can explain the situation to your new landlord. They wont care about an unusual rental history that shows incorrect late payments that were all removed. But if youre really worried, just try to get a letter indicating you paid on time every month. Keep it short and sweet.And it wont hit your credit report. It actually costs money to report late payments. Most companies wait till youre thirty or sixty days delinquent. They dont report immediately when a late payment hits their system.
