I signed a 12 month lease starting Sept. 1 to rent a room in a house. An addendum to the NON-REFUNDABLE REDECORATING FEE of $300.00 said the money was to be paid in $50.00 increments each Friday until paid. I had to paint the room so the landlord agreed to knock off $100, which wasn't noted on the lease. I skipped one week due to car repairs, the landlord agreed to this and I paid $50.00 the following Friday and received a receipt for the $50.00 payment. Now the landlord is trying to kick me out saying that I broke the lease by not paying weekly. My argument is that he verbally agreed to the payments and accepted the money and gave receipts. Did I break the lease or am I right that by accepting the money he agreed to the changes?
