Copying what I posted on your FB thread:
I'd check the payment provisions of your lease. If there's no language regarding excess fees or collection methods, you may not have to pay it.
Of course, actually making that happen is an entirely different animal. You may have to hire an attorney to fight for you, and the attorney will probably charge you more to get you out of paying it than paying it will cost you. And of course, your landlord knows that.
