Can my landlord charge a $50.00 late fee PLUS $5.00 a day for every day rent is late?
landlord charged me $50.00 late fee PLUS five dollars a day for every day rent is late. Our lease is month to month, she changed the lease terms, we never signed the new terms, used to be $50.00 late fee only. By the way, this is 1st time late. Our rent check bounced by $15.00, so she charged us late fee (50.00) bounced check fee (15.00) & additional $5.00 per day-which we did not pay. I deposited rent + late fee (50.00) plus bounced check into her acct. Never been late before or bounced check! My husband's pissed she's trying to get $40.00 more dollars out of us-says he wont pay-landlords a jerk!!!

Absolutely...and its probably in your lease as it is in mine that I make tennants sign...

You have to pay what is in your lease terms. If you are on month to month there are no lease terms. If there was a new lease made you were to be made aware to and and whould have to agree to it. I would get your copy out and run over it, you would ave to get a lwayer and its not worth the $100.00 but she cannot do anything other then waht is stated in the lease or contract.

Were you on a fixed (6mo or annual) lease before it went month to month? Or were you always on month to month?

If the former, then you should read it in case there is a clause in there somewhere. If there is NO clause for a $5/day then you are under no obligation to pay it. Same with the bounced check fee. If it's not in the lease, you are not bound by it.

Let her take you to court on it, or even try eviction. She wont have a leg to stand on so to speak, as she has no agreement signed in writing to this effect.

If it is in the contract, yes. otherwise, I don't think so.

move out and stiff the jerk.

When you are on a month to month basis, you don't have a contract and it can basically be changed any time.


strawberry
you have to check your lease and read carefully
if its not mentioned there so they can't but if its mentioned and you signed so of course they can

Since the original contract said a $50.00 late fee your have to pay that. If you haven't signed the new contract, then she cannot collect the $5.00 per day it was late.

Write on your next check, rent paid in full. When she cashes this check, she is agreeing that your rent is paid up to date and there will be nothing she can do about the fee's per day.

Also, she cannot threaten to evict you for not paying the $5.00 per day fee.

not unless its written in the rental agreement and then for drill it should not be more than 5% of the total, but you could charge 2% per month on carryovers as an add't incentive for you to build up your funds.

Yes he can charge you - but it don't mean you have to pay

You might go back to the lease and be sure that there is nothing on there about the other fees but often times if you are late or bounce a check they can charge a returned check fee and a late fee per day. It's her property and you are in violation of the lease because you did not pay by the date indicated on the lease. A judge would be on your landlords side because your payment was late so I wouldn't push it too far. judges don't have much sympathy for people who don't pay their rent on time.

It sucks but its just how it is. if you don't like it buy and mortgage a house so you don't have a landlord.

The landlord can't do anything to you unless you signed a contract. if you didn't it is null and void. Fight it and don't pay until you find out exactly what is going on. Try contacting your local tenant/landlord association they will be able to help you figure out what is right in this case.

you and the landlord must stick to the contract. if there isnt a contract she cant charge you anything extra, no even a bad check fee or late fee. if its not in the contract you dont have to pay it.

you have to check your contact with the landlord and check the terms and conditions that you signed and agreed too
