Landlord changing dates on receipts
landlord tenant attorney Pennsylvania Aug 14, 2026
location: Pennsylvania My landlord has been changing the dates on my rent receipts so they don’t match the dates I actually paid. I have texts/payment records showing when the payments were made, but some of the receipts list later or incorrect dates. She then used those incorrect dates to claim I was late and charge me late fees, even though the payment schedule in my lease and my actual payment history don’t support what she’s claiming. I’ve repeatedly asked her to correct the receipts and explain the discrepancies, but she won’t address them or provide corrected documentation. She insists on only explaining in person and not via text which I find suspicious. At this point, my concern is that the inaccurate records are being used to make it look like I have a history of late payments when I don’t. Has anyone dealt with something similar, and what would you recommend I do to protect myself/document this? She has yet to provide me of a receipt for my last payment although it was confirmed she received it through our texts.
