Right? That’s what I think! The original lease should be more applicable than the potential new lease I never signed.

I guess I’m not sure if it’s worth fighting. I wonder what could happen if I just pay what I originally agreed to and nothing more. Will they just keep my whole deposit for not paying it? (I mean, they probably will regardless)

I feel like this is something landlords sneakily do and a lot of people never question it. Thank you for your response. At the very least I feel validated!
