Your lease might often incorporate the approach of delivery/fee association for the lease. you need to stay with that approach. If the owner has constantly come via interior the previous to p.c.. it up, and that's your association, he/she will't only replace it hastily. yet once you have constantly mailed previous cheques, then you definately won't be ready to abruptly replace the association the two. you need to examine including your state or provincial landlord/tenant authority, and your lease, to work out no remember if it relatively is legal to fee you a overdue fee. This sounds like a petty dispute...i am going with to propose which you do what you could to maintain the dating on good words. You not at all comprehend once you will go with a favour with paying the lease a pair of days overdue, or a great reference to your next landlord.

It depends on where you are in NY and if your apartment is rent controlled or not.
Just because it is in your lease does not make it legal.
In NY, late fees are permissible for residential leases as long as they are reasonable. Reasonable is usually considered to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 5% of your gross rent. That means if your rent is $500, a "reasonable" late fee would be $25.
You can refuse to pay and let a judge decide if it is reasonable or not.

they can charge you an extra months rent if they so choose. i know someone who ended up losing their first last and security by not paying on the first of the month and there was nothing to be done about it this person actually discovered in the lease the rent was to be paid before the first of each month so read very carefully the small print befor signing the lease yes it is true BEFORE THE FIRST OF THE MONTH

If it's in the lease, yes. They can probably charge you as much as they want, as long as it's in the lease, that you signed.
