My parents rent in nj they are senior citizens do they get a 5 day grsace period by law to pay rent before late fee is charged?

Hello t:

Not by law. But, if the lease says so, then they do.

Sorry, Excon, but you're wrong.

To the OP:

According to NJ law, if a person is a senior citizen and receives a Social Security check then they are entitled to a 5 day grace period to pay rent if their rent is due on the first of the month.

Excon, you should have known that NJ LL/T law is "different" and Lisa knows about those differences. :)
