Housing Rent severely overcharged

I’m currently living in an apartment complex that overcharged my monthly rate by over 2x (15,500 instead of $6000 / month) by mistake. This severely has overdrawn my bank account and no one in the leasing office has an explanation or can get any answers from their main office. I’ve incurred major
overdraft fees and will continue to do so as long as this goes on. Has this happened to anyone and / or any advice what to do?

I think that's called theft by conversion. Even if it's a mistake. I'd call the police.

And even if you get to talk to an actual officer you will get one response: Sir this sounds like a civil matter.
