Is there a late period for late rent?
It depends on your landlord's requirements. Some offer a "grace period" after the day rent is due. If you pay your rent late, they are usually allowed to charge a late fee.
If a landlord refuses you rent is the lease broken by them?
It depends if you are already late or in the process of getting Evicted. IF you are current on your rent payments and the Landlord denies your rent payment. He/She must give you an explanation to why. If they don't then yes they are breaking the lease agreement because they are required to collect the rent money from you and they are not allowed to make you late either which is completely illegal
What should you do if your rent is going to be late?
Tell your landlord
Is there a Georgia rental late fee limit?
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.

Late Rent Notice?
Get StartedThe Late Rent Notice is designed to be used by a landlord/manager of rental units, to prompt a tenant to pay delinquent rent.

How long by law does a landlord after 15 days late on rent does a landlord have to give you to get rent paid before the can ask you to move?
A landlord can, at any time, initiate eviction proceedings against the tenant if he fails to pay his rent on time. Normally the landlord does this after the fifth day of default.
Can a landlord give a termination notice to a tenant for late fees?
This is tricky as some jurisdictions prohibit charging late fees in general. Others do not consider them as "rent" but more of a penalty for being late. Assuming the landlord accepted the rent check, and cashed it, they have continued the tenancy.
Can a landlord charge you late fee on rent after a year?
