Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Apartment Late Fees

If a lease states that late fees are X amount of dollars, can the apartment charge late fees that are different than the ones stated in lease? Also, does this apply if the old lease has expired and was never renewed?

Re: Apartment Late Fees

Based on what you have stated, if the previous lease has expired then a new lease would normally be established on a 30-day basis. This would ultimately depend upon the language contained in the original lease agreement. If my law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
