How much can landlord charge for late fee in state of Minnesota?
Minnesota AG's website states:Late FeesThe rent must be paid on the date it is due. When a tenant is late in paying rent, the landlord has the legal right to start eviction proceedings. (See page 24 for an explanation of eviction proceedings.) If a tenant pays rent late, the lease may require the tenant to pay a late fee. The lease must state how much the late fee will be and when it is due. The late fee must be a reasonable amount that compensates the landlord for actual damages resulting from late payment but is not designed to penalize the tenant. (56)

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.
Can your apartment landlord charge you a late fee 3 months later after doing an internal audit?
Most states have laws about when a late fee can be charged. For instance, in Massachusetts, a late fee can't be charged until the rent is 30 days late, and only if the lease provides for the fee. But, if they have that in the lease, then yes, they could go back and charge retroactively.
What is the maximum a landlord can charge for late payment fees?
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.
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.
