<prompt> Human: Reposting as I submitted a post earlier that I realized was a novel and pretty much unreadable. Ill try to keep it short and sweet.Moved into an apartment in August, and told the leasing agent I would only sign the lease if I wasnt charged a late fee 40 for August and September I was scrapping rent together for the first two months because my student loans and scholarships didnt come in until late in the first week of September. They obliged as we had a hell of a time trying to move in. They showed us apartments that werent ready when they said they would be and had to postpone us moving in twice due to employee incompetence of their own.So fast forward and we get a bill on October 19 saying we still owe 40 each for August and September rent being late, for an 80 total. My SO and I go up to the leasing office and are told they would be taken off after we explained what happened, and told them the name of the employee that said they would waive them.Note: Sometime in October the management company changedwas bought out. So I get an email yesterday saying that we owe them 320 4x the original amount. I called the leasing office and told the property manager what happened pretty much from the beginning, and she said she would have to email her boss and get back to me. Havent heard from her since, and not really sure what to do.Am I going to have to pay for these companys mistakes? I dont in any way have an exra 320 to spare, and dont think I should have to given it was employee errors, not my own.Edit: TD;DR: New property management company is not acknowledging that two late fees were waived by the previous property company 4 months ago and are now saying I owe them 4x the original amount. Assistant: Did you get this in writing and signed? Anytime there is a change to the contract, you need some type of proof. Otherwise, it will be she said and the contract will be what binds the agreement.Also, rlegaladvice.Human: No, when I asked if I could type something up and have them both sign it they assured me it was in the system. The new property management said they are going to try and contact the former company but thats about it so far. It has been suggested to me that I could go to small claims court and subpoena the two former employees to court, but I really dont want this to be legal.  <response>: Even though they verbally agreed, there is no concrete evidence unless you can prove it. I would head over to rlegaladvice since this is not a personal finance question.
