Hey all, I was renting a parking spot in Cambridge up until summer of 2022 and notified the person who I was originally in contact with to rent the parking spot (property manager for the condo who had since been promoted) to tell them to terminate my lease. On the lease it says it "will renew monthly until 30 days notice has been given", and when I gave the notice, I got a response from this same property manager saying "Notification received".

However, they didn't turn off my account in the portal and now I got a notification that I'm $1050 past due on this parking spot. I responded forwarding the email chain where I asked to terminate the lease as a heads-up.

Obviously I'm not paying this and hoping it's all a clerical error, but I am wondering if there's a potential for this to bite me in the ass legally. I have all the documentation pertaining to the original parking spot lease and the language around termination, and the email chain where the former property manager said they received my request to terminate the lease, but I'm wondering if they'd have any grounds to still go after me or potentially try and take me to small claims court, and if so, if that could hurt me/my record/credit score etc. I'd rather not deal with this as I no longer live in Boston!

Any of you guys dealt with the same or similar?
