landowner and tenant

Money was due to my previous landowner for rent and misc. cleaning when I left the apartment over four years ago. I don't remember ever receiving such letter stating I owed money or anything. In any case, now it is over to a collection agency. It is definitely over 4 years ago. What is the statute of limitation in a case like this? Is it 4 years? The amount if for $600. Thank you.

Re: landowner and tenant

On a contract, four years,but that is from the date of discovery of the debt.

You would be wise to attempt to settle this, decide to fight it, etc. Most debtors are overmatched when dealing with collection agencies, and they (the agencies) have nasty ways of collecting, including late charges and interest.

Stay on top of this. You may need the help of a lawyer.

Good luck!
