Late rent fee

I just moved to Charleston Sc about 7 months ago, and we moved to Palms Apartment of Palms Associates what should have been a sign of something wasn’t right was when we couldn’t pick our own apartment. the second was when our upstairs neighbors started giving us problems within the first week which escalated. so we had to get the city of charleston involved. my main reason for this post is the ridiculous LATE RENT FEE! they charge us a hundred bucks for our rent being late I wanted to know whether they can charge us that much? They also have is paying a water bill I get that but can they also charge that ridiculous one hundred dollar late fee and on too of that charge a 40 legal fee? I’m suck of this place its like you have to determine whether your going to pay car insurance or get groceries pay your lug nil or them. I feel something is fishy about the Palms Apartments. Is thru anything II can do about this?

Thanks in Advance

My property management company, GTS properties Las Vegas, was closed on Dec 31, 2012 which was a Monday, that is not a holiday, i tried to call and got no response, went to the office and no one was there. January 1, 2013 was a holiday, so there was no way for me to make a payment. so I went there today January 2, 2013, to make a payment, and they are charging me a late fees…… is that legal? If they were closed on the Monday before the holiday which is not concidered a holiday, I dont believe they have a right to charge any of their clients a late fee!!!!

Can any one tell me if that is legal, Thanks

Late rent fee

This all started earlier this month we mailed our rent out on the 14 th of march 775.00 ( 755 + 20 late fee.)

Our payments are to be post marked by the 6th of each month or we incur a $20 fee a second fee is due if not post marked by the 20th of the month.

Our land wanted us to pay a second fee because we were late.We sent her back copy of the payment agreement in her own
hand to remind her that payments are to be post marked by the 6th of each month or we incur a $20 fee a second fee is due if not post marked by the 20th of the month.. A few days go by we get another letter first saying thanks for the reminder then
she goes on to say we owe her $80.00 in late fees for 7/8/08 10/8/08 12/8/08 and 9/22/08 after looking at her records.

We are in the habit of getting the rent to the post office before noon the same day we get the cashers check from the bank.We found it strange all of of the ones she listed were mailed before these dates.When we checked our records the dates she gave are the dates the checks were cashed.We have the copies of all the payments sent. The dates are 7/4/08 , 10/3/08 ,12/6/08 &( 9/19/08 she wants a second late fee for this one)

During Oct she was in China her husband was taking care of things while she was gone.We mention this because we received a
note from him on the 15th to get in contact with him in the next 24 hours about our rent (Yet she is claiming the 8th).We called him he said they did not get our Oct rent yet.
We told him he should have we sent it out on the 3rd as proof of this will would send him a copy of the cashiers check.About a week goes by we get another letter from him saying he did in fact get our rent. He also said they have had problems with the post office like this before.

Do we owe the late fees if the post office delivers the rent late?

Landlord late fees

Brian — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 05:17:34 +0000

My landlord just posted on my door that beginning November they are going to start charging 10 dollars a day for rent past due I was just wondering if this is legal for them to do or not. I kind of figure it is but I just wanted to make sure before I filed a complaint. Also another question in the contract it says you recieve free cable. I have lived here for over a year now and in the past 3 months have lost 3 channels. I guess my question is should they be responsible for getting them channels back working or as long as you still have one channel is it considered legal being that it is free and they dont state what channels are free.

I received a bill from my apartment complex with a credit and paid it being sure to include the payment stub in the envelope this month. The management co. is not trying to evict me unless I pay the difference between my regular rent and the amount on the bill plus a late fee. What legal options do I have? The rent late fee seems to be higher than it should be. Can the landlord charge me a daily late rent fee?

Rent due!!

My rent is due on the 1st of each month and because January 1st was a holiday I took my payment in on the 2nd. My landlord sent me a late payment penalty for not paying on the 1st. My understanding is that Indiana law requires businesses to accept payment the next business day should the payment due date fall on a Sunday or Holiday. Can someone please confirm this and provide the statute code for this law.

Thanks!
Cory
