Read your lease. Your rights and liabilities are in your lease. As for the charges, the lease may require the payment of these expenses; however, you may be able to challenge the amount.

Additionally, you may attempt to negotiate with the Landlord/Mgmt company for a reduced rate or payment plan.

Beware, they could harm your credit if you do not pay or work out some sort of arrangement.
