I am not sure if the rule varies by state but the landlord can't charge any fees other than state regulated late fees and court cost if evicted, unless it's stated in your lease. You would have to be informed of any changes at least 30 days prior to the charge being assessed.

What can you do as a renter when the landlord has not paid asessment fees to the association?
If the association fees are part of the obligations of your landlord under your lease agreement you could pay the fees directly, then deduct them from the rent, sending a letter to the landlord with the accounting. You should check to see if there is a landlord-tenant agency in your area and call for advice.
Can a property management office evict you after 5 days after the 5th of the month here in Las Vegas and can they also charge you all those late fees?
Get a copy of your lease and check what it says about late payments. Most do charge late fees and if you are late a number of times, they evict you. If the fees are beyond that, check the Landlord and Tenant laws for your state. Rent is a fixed expense and there is usually no latitude as to when it is due regardless of your situation.
If you are on section 8 can a landlord raise your rent without notifying you and charge 10 percent late fees plus 5.00 a day?
If you are on section 8, any rent increases must be approved by the Housing Authority administering your program. The amount of rent you pay has to be based on the fair market value of the rent in your area. But under the section 8 program what you pay is according to your income and is dictated by the Housing Authority, not your landlord. You should not ever pay your rent late. Remember that your landlord has also agreed to the program. If your Housing Authority agrees to allow the landlord to do so, the landlord may charge late fees and daily charges if your rent is late. If you feel that you are being unfairly charged extra fees such as exorbitant late fees, talk to your Housing Authority about this: they can put you somewhere else. Generally a late fee is a flat rate of usually about $25. But it is based on a percentage of the amount of rent you are supposed to pay, not what you and the Housing Authority pay. The housing program is set up to help you; it is not ever going to be the same as what you might choose if you were under other circumstances where you had a choice. Therefore, you compromise and work things out as best you can; suing is not really going to work in this circumstance. Late fees are legal under the Section 8 program, but the fees must comply with what is spelled out in your rental lease. If you are being charged a fee that is not in your lease, then bring your concern to the agency that issued your voucher.
