Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
My landlord (ex-landlord now) tried to charge me $50/day late fee totalling $2200. Now they are wanting to keep my $1000 security deposit and call it even. Is this legal?

If your rental agreement provides for the late fee, and you in fact paid late to the tune of $2,200, then yes it is legal. You may have a waiver argument if they just let it go and are piling it on at the end, but $1,000 for a $2,200 liability is a pretty good settlement in that case.
