I think you will be better off if you get some additional documentation to back up your story. The best and easiest way to do that is by filing a landlord complaint with the RPA. It will create a case number and file that can be used as additional proof against your landlords, should they end up taking it to court.
When you file a complaint with the RPA you will have an Investigating Agent that will mediate with your landlord to resolve the problem– in this case, they would most likely get management to drop the back rent charges as it seems unfair and unethical. The Mediation will be documented by the agent and available to you anytime. If the RPA complaint goes no where, you will at the minimum have a new paper trail to back up your story.

Good Luck!
