Is This Legal? Charging Me For A Garage I Never Used Or Signed For

Card image cap

I moved into my new unit at the beginning of May. Without my knowledge, the property management assigned me a garage space. When I recently checked my balance to pay rent, I noticed two garage fee charges. After contacting the office, they claimed that I picked up the parking stickers the day after I moved in, which I did not. I wasn't even at the property that day. After explaining this, they canceled the garage space for me, but today I found that my balance still includes a garage fee of around $112. The office said that because they reserved the garage space for me, I need to pay the charge.

Is this legal? I never signed a contract for the garage, was unaware of the parking space, and never used the space. Why should I be responsible for this fee? I don't even have a car right now????
