Q. my question is that since a agreement was made incourt and was supposed to be for the total money due can they now say i owe other money and take me back to court for fees from the same months that were in the previous agreement that stated total monies due and what needed to be paid per the agreement.
A. The court looks to the 4 corners of the agreement. If you complied with the agreement then the landlord is out of luck.
