FAQ
Although landlords won't fine tenants during 'grace periods', the payment of the rent is still considered legally delinquent. Normally, rent should be paid on or before the established due date. This is a clause that is included in all lease agreements.
Late fees add up and missing a rent payment can significantly impact your credit score. By law, your rent is due on the date that's specified in your lease. There's usually a grace period of five days, so if you pay your bill just a few days late, you probably don't need to worry about it.
Step 1: Check Your Lease Documents and Payment Records. Step 2: Send a Late Rent Notice. Step 3: Make a Phone Call. Step 4: Send a Pay or Quit Notice. Step 5: Take Legal Action.
Under California law, a late fee will be enforced only if the fee is a reasonable estimate of the amount that the lateness of the payment will cost the landlord, and if specified language is include in a written lease or rental agreement.
Dear Landlord's Name, I'm writing to inform you that my rent payment will be late this month. I was recently laid off from my job and won't be able to make the payment on time. I have applied for unemployment benefits, but it may take up to 2 weeks before I receive my first payment.

The most your landlord can charge as a late fee is 5% of your monthly rent. For example, if your monthly rent is $1,000, the landlord can charge you up to $50 as a late fee. If you receive a rent subsidy, you may not pay all of your rent yourself.
Grace periods are quite common, usually varying between three and five days. Grace periods provide tenants extra time to pay rent before the landlord can legally charge a late fee.
