Hi!
I was wondering if Texas TAA lease allows for an apartment management to charge $130 late charge for a $49 water bill as of the 6th of the month it was supposedly due? besides this there was a $206.86 which was verbally given to me as late fees and water.
My rent was paid on May 26th for exactly my monthly rent charge of $1500. No water bill was received yet. However, I got a notice on my door on June 6th for non-payment of Utility bill, with an initial late fee of $100 and a grand total of $130...
please Help!!! This management company took over 2- months ago and it has been a headache and just plain stressful to say the least. Prior to this I did have an issues.
Thank You

No way to say without reading your lease. What does it say?

Read your lease.

When I had an apartment in Texas, the water bill was split between the 4 tenants in each building, it was not metered separately.

Also we did not pay the water company directly, we paid a third party company who charged an extra fee for the "convenience" of figuring out what I owe them.

I will tell you this, my water bill for a dinky apartment was always more than what I pay for my HOUSE, which is about 3x the size of the apartment. Its a ripoff.
