<prompt> Human: I moved out on an apartment 2.5 years ago. I just got a notice that they reconciled my account and I owe them 600. Naturally, the letter said that if I dont pay it theyll send it to collections. Is there a statute of limitations on this or does any one know any recourse I have besides paying the bill. Its ridiculous it took them 2.5 years to reconcile an account. Any tips or guidance would be appreciated.  <response>: This is a legal question. Most jurisdictions set a limit on how long a landlord has to collect money that you owe them.
