The Late Rent Notice is designed to be used by a landlord/manager of rental units, to prompt a tenant to pay delinquent rent. If the tenant does not pay within the allotted time, the landlord/manager may begin the process of ending the rental agreement and evicting the tenant, using the procedures specified by state and/or local law.

How far behind on rent do you have to be before getting evicted?
This might depend on what state you are in, but, in every state I know of, you can get a Notice to Quit if the rent is a day late.
On a month to month lease how many back rent can issue an eviction?
If you mean, "how far behind on the rent does the person have to be", you can give a notice to quit when the rent is a day late.
What is the legal time line before a landlord can impose late fees and what time line is there for a landlord to serve a perofrm or quit notice?
In every state that I know of, a notice to quit (for non-payment of rent) can be served the day after the rent is due. Late fees depend on the state. In Massachusetts, the rent must be 30 days late for a late fee to be imposed, and it has to be noted in the current rental agreement. However, there is no statutory limit on how much the fee can be.
As a landlord in Indianapolis how can I collect rent from a tenant who is one and a half months late and won't return my calls?
First, serve a Notice to Quit.
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.
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.
What is the minimum notice to give a tenant for increasing the rent?
If the rent is due every week, then the landlord usually must give a week's notice before the next rent is due; if it's every month, then a month's notice is given before the next rent is due.
What is penalty for not paying rent in MA?
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.
In California if a landlord charges a six percent late fee for not paying the rent on the first can they also charge a fee for a 3-day pay or quit notice?
no. late fees are actually illegal. more to come.
Can a landlord serve 2 months notice due to selling then back out of that and serve one month notice for being repeatedly late on rent?
The landlord can send the notice-to-quit for non-payment (14 days or less in most states), and not disturb the 2-month notice. They both remain in force.
I paid 3 months rent up front It was supposed to be for the first and last 2 months I have fallen behind in the rent payment and was served a 5 day notice. Are you allowed to apply the advanced rent?
You can't apply a last month's rent deposit unless this is your last month (or, in your case, the last two months). I don't know what state you are in, but it is unusual to give a two month deposit. If you have a rental agreement that requires 60 days notice to terminate, I guess that would make sense. But, unless you've given notice, then, yes, a prudent landlord would give a late notice.
How late is late in paying rent?
