I hate to ask this but has anyone received their "early" check? Mine shows sent on Monday but still nothing here. Even with a holiday, I've always gotten it within 4 days...5 at the most.
TIA

I don't know what early check means but I got one today.

My lease states that rent paid after the 3rd of the month automatically incurs a $250 late fee. What I did NOT remember/know until going over my lease this morning is that every day after the 4th/initial $250 charge is an ADDITIONAL $20 per day. I am going to owe so much by the time I can pay it that I'll never be able to pay it. Talk about a snowball.
Yes, I'm going to talk to my landlord. We are good tenants and have never been late before. I'm disappointed because now that he knows we live paycheck to paycheck, I'm afraid he is going to micromanage us or decide to just evict us. Eviction is my biggest fear sad smiley
I currently live in Simi Valley, CA and pay 2500 for a three bedroom townhome. We moved here not too long ago and weren't prepared for the high cost of living (husband's job transfer). The place we live in now would have rented for about 1000 back in Dallas.

Depending on where you'd be in Dallas, a 3 bedroom probably wouldn't be less than $1600 now. Rents have went crazy here. :/
My daughter lives in Salt Lake City. Her rent is $1,500; if she's one day late, the late charge is $250. And, as an earlier poster mentioned, an additional fee for each additional day. She missed some work, knew they were going to be a couple days late, and called her landlord ahead of time. He laughed and said that's just in the lease for the "hard cases" -- grifters, liars, chronic bad payers. He wouldn't charge her a late fee because she's a good renter with no record of late payment.

Never hurts to ask!

My rent is $250 a month for 2 bedroom, 2 bath (with 2 car garage) house. I've been in this house for 12 years. I've probably been late 12 times. I have OFFERED a late fee every time, and my landlord just smiles and says it's not necessary. In ten years, he's never raised rent, either.

I LOVE Nebraska!
I just pay my rent a year at a time. Makes it much easier than trying to remember every month to pay it.

It is illegal in most jurisdictions to charge a late fee of that high amount. A judge would NEVER allow a $250 late fee- maybe $10 or whatever a day, but $250 is usuary and unenforceable.
I believe you are correct.
