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.

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?
