If there is a grace period its listed in your lease. Some states do have laws requiring a grace period but most don't. You can find links to state laws at the top of the Real Estate Law forum.

Some states have laws that allow you to use rent money to make a repair if the landlord doesn't. You need to check with your state housing department or the laws of your state.
