No Grace period given for rent, can this be done?
I recently signed a lease and Broker stated rent is due on the 1st of each month and no grace period is given. For every day late, there is a $25 late fee. I do not get paid but once a month on the 5th and I explained this and told her I could pay her on the 5th of each month. This wasn't accepted and said I would be paying late fees. I thought Florida law gave a 5 day grace period. If this be the case, then I could pay my rent on the 5th, when I get paid and last day of grace period, and would not have to accure late charges.
1- Am I correct? Please inform if a Broker can do this, also,
2-Would my rent be considered late if paid on the 5th of each month?
Thank you and I look forward to your response.
