My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Texas
Rent was mailed late on the 5th which lease asks for does not state on lease that the rent considered late till received. I know its $25.00 a day for late fees . On the 14th landlord advised I owe $125.oo for late fees did not give me a date just stated ASAP. and it was sent on a text no by letter. Today she tells me i owe her $500.00 in late fees. Can she do this. the lease states she can charge a % of rent for late fees. my rent is $850.00. Can she continue to charge late fees after the rent has been accepted. she has not stated the late fees are deducted from the rent either.
