[QUOTE="David2012, post: 2004120, member: 24428"] Sorry I didn't notice that your location is Fayetteville, AR. Get in touch with a large television station that is viewed in your area. They all have consumer watch dog reporters. On your checks, when you pay your rent write 'Paid In Full' for that month it covers in the note section and make a copy before submitting it. Some jurisdictions hold that if a person cashes a check so marked, that they are agreeing that the debt is indeed paid in full. Otherwise they should contest it. You make the copy because I've known of instances where the landlord made a alteration to the original check and forged the Tennant's initials or signature to it. You might also put a bug or two in the ears of your local District Attorney, the State Attorney General and the federal prosecutors office in your area... if the owner is already having legal issues... they might be interested in learning if he has other on-going legal problems. Sounds almost like a form of extortion to me... you either pay up the extra cash or the management will use that as a excuse to toss you out on your butt and keep your security deposit for breaking the lease. It is a matter of your credit & reputation. If you want to move into another apartment or get a bank loan in the future... having a bad record of having not kept a lease agreement and being evicted might hurt your credit rating sometime down the road. Or at least mention to the woman that you spoke with of your intentions to contact law enforcement officials and organize your neighbors [even the ones who already unwittingly signed the new lease amendment]... she might see a bright white light shinning down from Heaven and get a change in attitude in a hurry.
