The administration has set the tone of “Fuck with people as much as you want. Lie if you want to. There will be no consequences.”

… and I’m not saying it definitely is …
In case you missed that part.
“These travelers were denied entry after attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses. One used a Visitor visa, the other the Visa Waiver Program,” CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham said in a statement. “Both claimed they were touring California but later admitted they intended to work – something strictly prohibited under U.S. immigration laws for these visas.”
Provided that that’s true, and I’m not saying it definitely is, that would be a valid reason to deny entry.

If you really want to push buttons, team up with a woman in your class, each of you wearing the exact same clothes, where those clothes are “traditionally female.” You show up first, get the funny look and the “Oh, you’re going to do this now?” - then your co-conspirator walks in and stands next to you.
Narrator: She didn’t.

11·8 days agoEnglish spelling rules, and some vocabulary and grammar, were mostly crystallized around the end of the 16th century, with the form kind of arbitrarily chosen to be (mostly) from southeast England.
English grammar rules and some spelling were asserted by fiat, by linguists who wanted English to be “more Latin.”

Personal experience: some apartment we’d been renting gave us back our whole security deposit, which we weren’t expecting, because cat. But yay!
Couple months pass, they get hold of us and are all “Wait a second, you owe us $1200, because we have to replace the carpet.”
I imagine we could have just told them to pound sand at that point, but we’d started thinking about getting a mortgage preapproval, and didn’t want this to be a problem. So we agreed to pay them $50/month.
We paid them like five times over the course of ten months. They’d send us angry letters, and we’d finally send them a check.
The moment we got a mortgage approved, we stopped paying them. They sent a couple more angry letters, which we ignored. Never heard a thing about it again. Nothing happened with credit reports. No civil suit.
As above, if it’s “two months notice,” and OP was shy on that by three days, the most they could possibly owe is three days’ rent.
Nothing will happen if OP does not pay them. Can something happen? Sure, something very very small. But it won’t. And there’s zero harm in finding out. Worst case, old landlord sells the debt to collections for Pennie’s on the dollar, OP clears it with collections for nickels on the dollar, still coming out way ahead.
There’s a disagreement about what’s owed. That’s what civil courts are for. If they want to go that route, then talk to a lawyer, or if the amount is less than a lawyer would cost, then pay it.
By this logic, OP should only be on the hook for three days’ worth of June.
Protip: Don’t pay it. It will cost them more to come after you for it than the amount owed is, so they won’t come after you for it.
