Due to my car being stolen along with my debit card on November 1, and almost $500 spent with my card, I was unable to pay my rent. It took nearly 3 weeks to recover the money spent on my card. By the time I had everything together, it was almost the end of November. When I received my SSDI benefit in my bank on the 29th, I called the property manager to request what the total was going to be with late fees. My rent is $635. The lease calls for a $75 late fee to be added on the 6th day and $10 for every day after until paid. I roughly estimated $960. They tell me that since December's rent will be due in a few days, I will be required to pay it as well. The property manager says I owe with December's rent a total of $2085, payable in all cash. What should I do?
