Oklahoma's renter's rights. Can they ask for more money after the lease is signed?

Question

I recently moved to some apartments in tulsa, ok. i signed a lease stateing how much the first month would be pro-rated. They are now asking for the difference in a mistake that THEY made TWICE at two different calculations by two different people. I signed the lease that had the lower amount on it. They said i HAD to pay it. Do i really, since i signed the contract with the other price.

Answer 1

People can ask anything. Whether you have to oblige them or not is another story.
Consider whether or not it was a mistake. Pay what you genuinely owe. Do not take advantage of an honest mistake. Do not let them use a mistake to take advantage of you. Supposing that they made a mistake and that you do not legally owe because of the signed lease, it would be appropriate to go ahead and pay the difference. That is courteousy and respect. You expect them to be courteous and respectful. Give them what what you owe and expect them to do like-wise.

Answer 2

You need to contact the Landlord Tenant Rights. It's in the phone book. If you pro-rated it, who is right or wrong? A "mistake" is a mistake, you truly don't want to get off on the wrong foot with these people. If you do, the whole time you live there, it will be uncomfortable! Pro-rating isn't to hard to figure out, maybe you need to talk to their Boss, to get this straight!

Answer 3

Before doing anything at all you should contact your city hall and ask them. Speak to someone in the correct department. This is something you should really look into so you don't get ripped off. You can also think about asking a lawyer. I hope I helped and be safe.

Answer 4

You are only required the pay the price that is listed on your lease.

Answer 5

Sounds fishy to me. I am in Oklahoma City. I would contact a real estate lawyer about this.

Answer 6

You have a signed legal agreement, they wrote it up. They errer, so they have no right to hold you to an amount they now regret.
