Asked on Oct 24th, 2024 on Contracts - Florida
More details to this question:
We rent from a property management company here. After our first month she put a bill on us for $250 for lease signing. We have asked numerous times to show us the lease where we agreed to that. It is not on anything we signed. She even tried changing me late fees. She took my rent check in September and put it to this fictitious bill and give me a late fee. I told her I would turn her in and she reversed this. I want to know if I win can I collect my legal fees?

Not sure what you are trying to "win". If you got her to retract the charge without litigation, its hard to imagine "damages" you would be suing for since you already accomplished the remedy. If you have questions about your lease or its handling by the PM, you would be best off retaining a landlord/tenant lawyer to review the situation and go from there since you will have to deal with them for the duration of the lease.
