    Question Late Fees After Paying Rent

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Indiana
    Rent paid with 1st day late fee on agreed date. But was not able to pay additional per $ a day late fee for the period fined 7-19th. Should the landlord be able to continue per day late charge even though rent and first day late fee have already been paid? Please help!

    What does your lease say about when late fees are due?

    Default Re: Late Fees After Paying Rent?

    It says $25 if late on the 6th of the month and $5 a day after that.
    But when I paid my late it was the 19th of the month and I do understand the $5 a day from the 7th to the 19th. But I was unable to pay the $5 a day. and said I would pay that with this month and they insist that I should pay late fees until today. What suggestions does anyon have. I don't fell that's fair.

    Can you explain better what you are asking? Are you asking if your landlord can charge late fees on unpaid late fees?

    I'll explain in more detail,
    I paid my rent late on the 19th, so $ 475 + $25 late payment after the 6th.
    I told my land lord on the 19th that i was unable to pay the $5 late fee until the first which is today. So from the 7 - 19 which would be a additional $65.
    Instead of$125. I know I owe the $5 a day late fee. But they said that I have to continue to pay $5 a day through today.
    I don't think it's fair.

    Again, what does the lease say? Does it say that late fees are treated as rent? When are the late fees due?
