What is the name of your state? Florida

Rental office left a notice on my door that states I owe them an additional $210 for failure to pay 2 months of my garage rental. I was confused because I've paid the same amount each month that I've been here. They listed each of the detailed amounts (monthly rent, trash removal, garage rental, 7-month short-term fee, etc.) and a total amount. I checked them and the numbers didn't add up to the total. So I pulled out my lease and it's the same... the individual numbers are listed but they don't add up to the total amount they have listed that is due each month. I have been paying the amount that is listed as the total due each month. If they screwed up the math on the lease, am I responsible for it?

If it was a simple math error... yes.
