I’m curious how others would handle this situation. I signed an apartment lease 11 months ago (15 month lease) which offered parking services through a 3rd party via an attached garage with a flat rate of $150 per month. If you began parking after the 15th, you’d receive a 50% pro-rated discount for the first month. Knowing this, I strategically moved on on the 16th and received a $75 discount month one.
Each month since month one I’ve received an invoice for $150, a 50% discount, leaving my monthly owed amount at $75. I’ve double/triple checked the paperwork and this prorated amount clearly only applied to the first month, so I can only assume this to be a mistake on the parking services end.
Having setup autopay, I’ve paid the total invoiced amount each month ($75), leaving a $0 outstanding balance. I’ve tracked/budgeted as if I’ve spent the full $150 and put the excess money aside in a HYSA incase they ultimately ask for it back.
Looking into the future, whats the likelihood of the parking company noticing this mistake and requiring me to pay the missing amount? I’m willing to pay it should they request it, but I’m not going to take the initiative to point out their mistake with the off chance I get to pocket the difference. Thoughts on the best long term plan here?
