Some of those charges may not be legal. Some of the illegal charges may also be outside the statute of limitations. This is unfortunately very detail specific. You can't get a worthwhile answer on : you need to talk to a local attorney.

What does your lease say? if you had agreed to pay all of those expenses then that was considered part of your rent. Consult with an attorney who can review the lease and any documents that related to the arrangement you have with the landlord. Under local law, she may have to offer you the first option to buy the property. Maybe you could negotiate a purchase agreement with her that would save you both money.
