Hi enriko,

I think you should use the cashiers check to keep track on what you have paid. You can even take help from an attorney. Request him to give you the copy of the lease and how much you will have to pay for the late fees. Even then if doesn't provide you these then you should better move out of the property.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

Hi Enriko,

I feel you should contact a lawyer. A landlord not willing to provide you with a copy of the lease contract - this is something strange. Don't just keep on paying the higher rent payment, rather talk to a real estate attorney in your state.

Maybe before you talk to an attorney that may cause an unnecessary bill, (although I think this manager is shady!) You could go online to your county's assessors page and look up the owners information, then contact owner. I'm sure the owner would like to be informed of managers moves!
