Business ProfileforBarrington Residential

6 months after I moved into **** ****** *********, which is part of the barrington residential community, i was credited a $50 referral fee for my daughter who also lives here. I was told the referral bonus could be used for rent issues if i needed it. I never used the credit. November 4th 2023 I paid my full rent of $1095 by money order. the check was cashed by the management Nov 6th 2023 and was cleared Nov 7th 2023. The building manager incorrectly read my check as $1092 instead of $1095 as written on the money order and incorrectly updated my rent account for Novembers rent . The manager then took $3 of the $50 credit to make up the difference. December came and i was in violation of the renters insurance clause of my lease which was a $50 fine. Due to her "fixing" my account for no reason in november the $47 remainder was put on the violation and management has been harrassing me with letters, emails and phone calls over $3. I went to the bank and received a copy of my November money order and brought it to management to show that I was NOT short for rent and that I shouldve had the extra $50 in case of a situation like this arises. I was told that yes she had made a mistake but that I was ultimately responsible for the $3. She also stated that she had "literally just had a **** meeting with corporate and was told that even if she had made mistakes to reach out to the tenants to rectify her mistakes". I was told she could not go in the system to fix it. My bank did notify me that its illegal for a bank to cash a check for less than what it is written for and that she should have received an "error notice" or "correction notice". I feel like i am being bamboozled to pay extra money for a mistake that I have nothing to do with. I feel like if her and management are having **** meetings about bookkeeping mistakes then this must be an ongoing problem here at barrington *********s and that they are fraudently demanding tenants pay more money to fix their mistakes.
