Re: Eviction Advice

It depends on the reason for the fee. It also depends on the terms of your lease. It doesn't depend on whether you have been ill, out of work, or any other reason for being behind in your rent. Since you say you are under a pending eviction, I would guess the additional fee is to reimburse them for legal expenses required because of your non-payment of rent. In any case, you should see an attorney to understand your rights and obligations. Posting a question on here is not a substitute for visiting with an attorney.
