Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey
Late Fees
I would like to know if there is a limit a landlord can write into a rental agreement for an apartment in New Jersey? My mother-in-law recently signed a lease and the landlord put in a late fee of $ 25.00 per day. Is this allowed?
Thank you.

Re: Late Fees
This is a totally approriate provision and is frequently found in leases. It usually kicks in after 5-7 days or longer in some leases.
