I am sure that the lease said "in writing" and you thought that what you did was enough to comply. But the fact is here it is going to be your word against theirs unless you can show a certificate of mailing or certified mail receipt. That does not mean lay down and die. It means get yourself revved up for a fight. Good luck.
