Hello if I send my rent payment in the mail certified at least 5 business prior to the due date and its delivered prior to the date its due as well can my landlord charge me late fees for not receiving the rent on time because she doesn't want to go and pick it up from the post office. Thank you,
That is a good question. Most leases will state that the rent is no credited as paid until actually delivered to the landlord. Here, however, she received notice that the rent was available for pick-up. My I suspect that we could win a case disputing the late fees under these facts.
