July rent came in $2,226.65 under schedule. The schedule was wrong, not the bill.
An under-bill is a signal, not a gift. The investigation agent searched the mailbox and found a countersigned amendment from the landlord’s authorised representative: rent down, term extended three years. Lower-ranked sources, a property manager’s claim, a forged sender and an injection attempt, were set aside. None can modify a lease.
