No interest should only be charged if you are in a mortgage.
If you paid your rent late, he didn't break the lease - you did. He can now move to terminate the lease.
Late Payment on Apartment LeaseA lease will not show on your credit report; unless there was a judgment against you.
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.
yes
Depends on your lease. If the lease says something happens, then it does. If the lease is not in writing, one of a few things can happen. Nothing is one. If it's very late the landlord could ask you for something like a late fee, and you could agree or not. The landlord could threaten to terminate your lease if you don't pay some kind of late fee, and that's a dilemma, especially where you set up a situation where you start paying late fees, then the next time the landlord will expect you to pay it like an additional part of the (unwritten) lease agreement

From my understanding of the laws in the state of Georgia (USA) as far as a home/property rental, there is no limit on the late fee so long as the late fee has been agreed upon by the tenant and landlord in the signed lease. If there is no late fee mentioned in the lease, the landlord can not just decide to charge one and make one up. From the State of Georgia's Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Landlord-Tenant Handbook: The date the rent is due should be stated in your lease or agreed upon by the landlord and tenant. There is no law which specifies any grace period or designates a rent due date. Rather, a grace period is a matter of agreement between the landlord and tenant. It allows the tenant extra time in which to pay the rent without breaching the lease or rental agreement. The landlord and tenant may agree to any grace period they choose or they can agree not to have a grace period. In addition, a grace period may be created based on the landlord's conduct of accepting late rent over the course of several months without charging a penalty. If a tenant fails to pay the rent by the required date, including the time allowed for a grace period, the landlord may charge a late fee if the late fee is provided for in the lease. If the lease does not allow for a late fee, the landlord is not allowed to impose such a fee. The amount of the late fee will be the amount agreed upon by the landlord and tenant in the lease itself.
This all depends on the terms of the lease. But generally, the amount of rent is a fixed monthly amount, which may or may not include some or all of the utilities. Anything separate that the landlord charges you, unless stated on the lease, is not part of the rent, and therefore cannot be enforced as such. For example, if your rent does not include utilities and the landlord pays utilities for you but gives you the bill for it, the utilities are a separate amount that is charged by the landlord. As such, your landlord would not be allowed to evict you if you do not pay utilities. This would be true of any other charges the landlord may impose upon you, unless it is part of the rent. For example, late fees can be added onto the rent and become part of the rent as due and payable at the time you pay your rent. Again, this must be stated in your lease in order for it to be enforceable.
Most states have laws about when a late fee can be charged. For instance, in Massachusetts, a late fee can't be charged until the rent is 30 days late, and only if the lease provides for the fee. But, if they have that in the lease, then yes, they could go back and charge retroactively.
