Can anyone tell me where to look to determine the maximum allowable late fees if a tenant is late on their rent for a residential dwelling? I live in Pa.
I've been looking in the PA tenant laws for your answer. I couldn't find it only suffice to say that you can charge a "reasonable" amount. But I did find some other interesting things
No forwarding address = no deposit.
(e) Failure of the tenant to provide the landlord with his new address in writing upon termination of the lease or upon surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises shall relieve the landlord from any liability under this section.
The Deposit is Limited
(a) No landlord may require a sum in excess of two months' rent to be deposited in escrow for the payment of damages to the leasehold premises and/or default in rent thereof during the first year of any lease.
The full laws for PA are Pa. Stat. Ann. tit. 68, §§ 250.101-.510-B
