I was recently charged by my property management company for the installation of a carbon monoxide alarm. I am aware that there is a law requiring landlords to comply, but the installation was carried out without my knowledge (I only found out about it after I received the bill) and the agent admitted that this was an oversight on their part as there was no prior communication. However, as the work had been completed I still had to pay. I am really upset as I would have had the option to get a quote from elsewhere to see if the amount was reasonable. I would like to ask if anyone has had similar experiences with their agents in the past (forcing payment for something without prior notice)) and how it was handled, any advice would be highly appreciated!
