Re: Late Payments
Your obligation to pay rent is controlled by your lease, not by the correspondence telling you that you had a credit. I suggest that you explain the circumstances to your landlord and see if a repayment plan can be worked out. Unfortunately, you owe the full amount of the rent that was due under your lease.
