Okay. Somewhere on here I listed my saga with a specific Southport REA (aka PM) of a property (aka "Monaco Street" property).
Anyway, I received a letter from this specific REA a long time ago advising me that I owed a further four weeks rent on top of the three weeks rent I had already paid due to breaking lease.
Yes I had stopped paying rent due to financial difficulties. I couldn't afford to keep paying double rent any longer. I only signed the lease to the Monaco Street property under a mis-understanding anyway.
It was a huge huge mistake for me to have signed that lease. You could say I signed it under duress or whatever it is when someone signs something unwillingly.
Basically, I would never have signed this lease if I knew what I new prior to signing it. I never moved in nor lived in that Monaco St property.
Okay. I paid that amount ($1107.39) and have proof of the payment via my credit card statement. Thinking I was finally done with this whole saga I threw out the letter that stated this amount on it (I seriously thought I was done as I had paid what that letter said I owed).
I've been off-line due to moving to a new place and only received an email (no phone call, no letters in the mail) stating that I owed a further $1620.84 !!!!
Supposedly it DIDN'T take them an extra four weeks as I was under the understanding (due to the original letter I received and confirmation by that office via the phone as I rang that REA shortly after receiving that letter) ... supposedly I didn't owe just $1,107.39 !! Supposedly it took them 20 weeks and 3 days to find a new tenant for the place I never lived within (and broke lease upon).
20 weeks and 3 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one dumbstruck it took them THAT long in THIS market?
I honestly feel that they are screwing with me. I can't afford to pay this.. I could only afford to pay the $1,107.39 !!
*cries in frustration*
Should I take them to the tenancy tribunal? What can I do? I honestly was under the impression I owed only that $1107.39 !! I wouldn't make up such a specific figure if I didn't owe it!!!
