Late Rent
When a tenant doesn’t pay rent on time, their landlord can send them a 5-day notice to quit anytime after the rent due date.[1] The 5-day notice period pertains to the amount of time the tenant has to pay late rent.
However, if the landlord wants to charge the tenant late fees for not paying rent on time, they must wait five days from the rent due date to start charging.[2]
