I'm in Los Angeles, California. My wife and I live in a large apartment complex that's run by a management company. Recently, we signed up to have our rent payments automatically deducted from our checking account. It's a new service the management company is offering. May was the first month the auto-debit started. It went through in May with no problems, but the money was not deducted in June and as of early morning July 5th, our rent hasn't been deducted for July either.
I realize that I'm obligated to pay the money, but since I signed up for the auto-debit, it would seem that the impetus is on them to make sure that the charge goes through. Obviously someone has made a mistake, but I'm wondering if I'm in any way obligated to point out that mistake.
We haven't spent the money, obviously. It's sitting in our checking account ready to go should they suddenly discover their error.
Also, we're moving out on August 15th. Once we move, I realize we're probably still on the hook for that money, but again, I'm wondering if I'm obligated to point out their error to them. And assuming I'm not under an obligation like that, is there any sort of statute of limitations as to how long they can come to me to collect any back rent that hasn't been paid?
Thanks.
