Unless prior arrangements have been made, a landlord should not enter a rented premises after standard business hours, as a general rule this is after 5pm. but on the same note a landlord shouldn't be coming onto the property un-announced or without prior warning at any time. Query for additional information: Open-ended questions are very tedious. For what purpose? To do repairs? To meet with you? To pick up rent?
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.
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.
Yes, unless it states in your contract "bills included".
I'm not familiar with laws specific to Missouri, but the general answer is yes, there are many circumstances under which the landlord may enter the property. If the tenant is not paying rent, the landlord will start the eviction process and has the right to show the property to the next tenant. The landlord is still bound by all the pre-existing restrictions after the tenant is late in payment, he/she is not free to come during the middle of the night or some other combative action.
If your property is foreclosed, either you have the same landlord until the property actually changes hands, or you have a new landlord who can exercise his own rules, including evictions. If your landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent, and he can still evict you if you don't pay it. When the new landlord takes over you must follow that landlord's instructions for rent payment or vacating the premises.
You need to come into agreement with the current tenant as well as the landlord. If the landlord approves, you will sign an agreement to take over the lease from the current tenant.
No, he may be checking to see if you are having lease violations. You do not have to let him in, but he can come over. He can come in for repairs and emergencies too.
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.
Tell your landlord
If payments were late, then the money was owed. Yes, the landlord may take money owed.
Waiving the late fee would be the landlord's option.
no. late fees are actually illegal. more to come.
This varies by state. Massachusetts law, for instance, states that a landlord may not charge a late fee until the rent is 30 days late. However, the statute sets no limit on the amount of the late fee.
Never!!
A landlord may legally evict any time you are late with the rent. Even if you are just one day late one time.
It over swept! (Get it? It over slept!)
In NY, landlords can charge reasonable late fees to tenants who are late on their rent if this is disclosed in the lease agreement.
