When your lease agreement expired it automatically kicked over into a month to month agreement. The terms you originally agreed to are still legally binding. I’m sorry to hear about your employment situation, however, it doesn’t make much of a difference as to why you are behind in rent payments.
Your landlord has every right to charge you a late fee. Technically, you are in breach of your agreement the day after your rent is due. Your landlord can evict you for being just one day late on rent. I’m not sure about Pennsylvannia, but most states including mine only require 3 days before you are evicted. So if your landlord is giving you a full 10 days– that is generous. Try looking at it from his perspective, if you don’t pay your rent– your landlord will have to. I don’t know too many landlords that are willing to pay their tenants rent.
