Re: Late Fees for Rent
Late fees are fixed by the lease. Your lease should be reviewed by an attorney to verify the charges. In the absence of a written lease document the landlord may not impose late fees. I would be happy to review your lease for a minimum fee. My phone number is 215-579-9390. Gerald Hershenson Esq.
