What states have a five day grace period in paying rent

Very few. Why? Are you going to move to a state just because it offers a grace period for rent?

Why are you really asking?

I'm in Florida and no it has nothing to do with that? Another thing is they said if you signed a lease agreement after January 15, 2009 then the grace period is 3 days but if you signed it before January 15, 2009 then the grace period is 5 days.

Hello b:

There is NO state law that give a grace period to a tenant. IF your complex grants ANY grace period, it's COMPANY POLICY, not state law.

I just reviewed a synopsis of FL law and it does not mention a grace period. If you do not pay your rent on time, the landlord must give you a 3 day pay or quit notice. That may be what they referred to.

Just found this:

See III-C.

So the bottomline is that a landlord does not have to give a grace period at all. Therefore, the terms of the lease govern when rent is due.

That Can not be true, I am in Florida too... and I sign my lease agreement after the 15th and I have a grace period of 5 days. From my understanding, Florida Law does not require a lanlord to provide you a grace period, it is at their discretion.
