Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Is it legal to take out late charges out of rent and then send me a notice as if I am not making my full payment of rent?

Yes, but they cannot evict you on that basis. If you tender rent in full they cannot evict you by applying the money elsewhere. They have to take the rent and take you to small claims if you don't pay the late fees, etc.
