There's no such thing as a penalty. If a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can serve a Notice to Quit on the day after the rent is due. On the fifteenth day, if the tenant has not paid, the landlord can have a Summons and Complaint served by a constable, which sets up a court date about three weeks later.
If the tenant has gotten a Notice to Quit for nonpayment in the previous 12 months, he cannot cure the notice, and the landlord can have a Summons served 15 days after that second notice, regardless of whether the tenant ever paid.
If you are referring to a late fee, Massachusetts law only allows a late fee after 30 days. There is no limit on the late fee (except common sense), but it must be articulated in a written rental agreement.
