Mistake lease with $0/mo , can i get my tenant to pay?

so, i use an e-payment system, and last summer it generated a $0 lease and sent it to the tenant. That was dumb. But what was worse is that when it came back to my office, my person signed it too! but i'm not done. After that we didn't bill the tenant for 11 months, and now we finally caught it.

The lease is fully legally countersigned by my team.... what is my recourse ?!?!

If you went 11 months without rent and you just now are noticing, you should rethink being a landlord. I don't sign leases without getting money upfront with them.

    Maybe the tenant was paying but property management is using a phony docs to show you and pocketing the rents , who knows really but an audit is necessary.   As the tenants if they are even aware of the lease
