GETTING RIPPED OFF?!?!?!...what do i do?

I moved into this apartment february 25th and i signed my lease on february 11th and today is March 4th. I went to the rental office and gave them my rent for this month. They told me my rent was 1810$ and they showed me a paper saying i signed it but i didnt it had my initials on it i do not ever remenber signing that paper! and i signed another paper the day i signed my lease saying i would pay 1650$ they claim they dont have a paper like that... what do i do they are lieing to me and i cant afford to pay 1810, 1650 was pushing my limit. and they say if i want to break my lease i have to pay them 2 months worth of rent and pay them for painting my house shampooing the carpet and for all the damages they fixed (before i moved in) i argued but they were like i dont have it i dont know what your talking about and they never gave me a copy of the papers even when i asked
what do i do?

You don't have a copy of the lease you signed originally? I know this is a little too late but from this point in your life do two things:

CAREFULLY read document before signing it.
MAKE SURE you have a copy of the executed document (meaning it has yours and their signature)

As for your current situation, look through any of your belongings for ANYTHING that might suggest the rent was $1650 (advertisement, etc.) If you suspect they forged your signature and initials then tell them you are calling the police on them - and do so.

Good luck and don't make this mistake ever again!

prove what you are saying, or pay

time to get a lawyer.

Did you get a copy of the orginal lease that you signed?

Please, please in the future get copies of EVERYTHING that you sign when leasing or buying property. If they won't give it to you when you ask for it then there is something fishy going on.
