That depends on the state. In Massachusetts, the rent has to be 30 days late, and the late fee has to be agreed to in the rental agreement. Every state is different on this.

When renting an apt which includes utilities can a landlord include in the lease a clause for rent increase if utility usage is excessive?
If you signed the contract with that clause and there are no local laws contradicting the contract, yes. Check the laws in your area to be sure. The landlord in some regions can only increase the rent once per year and by a certain percentage. In this case, the landlord (under a yearly lease) needs to give proper notice of rent increase, usually 90 days. If the utilities are included in the rent, then I believe the landlord would have to follow those rules.

How much can rent be raised at one time?
Legally, in the United States, lot rent can only be raised by $200.00 at one time. However, there is no limit as to how much a landlord can raise rent per year.
How many times may a landlord raise rent if you have a year to year lease?
I would think 12 times, because the lease renews month to month, that is what month to month refers to. It doesn't mean how often renters pay, that is always every month. It is a 30 day lease. They can't raise rent without 30 days notification, so they could raise it every month until you punch a hole in the wall and then they could arrest you. Although that's true, there's also a reasonable rent increase statute within NJ. Therefore, legally, the landlord couldn't just keep raising your rent every month. However, you're better off seeking a landlord that will extend to you a six-month or a 12 month lease and put a clause in the lease for a maximum rent increase for a renewal. I don't think this is correct as most states have a guideline percentage that you may raise the rent per year. Many states may have guidelines by which the landlord may raise the rent, but many states don't. As mentioned the landlord must give notice of one rental period before the next rent is due (some landlords charge by the week, something I would be very leery about). So if your rent is due every month then the landlord must give notice of at least one month before the next rent is due. If you're going to rent, lease up: try not to get into a month-to-month situation if you can help it. It should be noted that any terms and conditions of a month-to-month "lease" is only enforceable to the extent that if you pay your rent you get to live there another month, unless you signed an agreement to other terms and conditions, barring unconscionability, that are written on the agreement.

Can a landlord force you to sign a lease by withholding your rent receipts a year after moving into a place?
If the tenant is paying in cash, they should not give the landlord a dime with getting a reciept immediately. If the landlord will not give receipts, pay with check or money order.
