On 5/26/2007, I mailed my monthly rent check to my landlord for rent due on 6/1/2007. On 6/5/2007 I received a five day notice from the company stating that they’d never received my rent check. I was then instructed that I had to obtain a cashier’s check, or that they would start eviction proceedings, which costs $7, and was assessed late fees in the amount of $19.40, because, again, they said they’d never received my check. On 8/10/2007, the original check I sent them was cashed, sending my account into a negative dollar amount, which caused $75 in insufficient funds fees to be assessed to my checking account. I contacted Bonheur Realty regarding this, asking for some sort of compensation, because obviously this was an error on their part. There is no other avenue set up for us to send our rent checks, and if the post office loses them, or the bank makes an error, it is not right that the tenants have to bear the burden of these mistakes. Am I due back all the fees I've incurred?
