Contact the owner directly and remind him of your agreement. The management company is his agent, and will do what he says. The problem is that you didn't get anything in writing. You might be out of luck if he doesn't remember the arrangement. You can try to defend yourselves by denying that you owe anything. At trial you could bring your rent checks and receipts to show that the owner accepted payments for a long time according to the agreement, and that the management company is breaching the agreement.
