Thanks a lots. Will do.

So, if LL lists the extra fees in September 2011 and provides no receipt, am I ( tenent) still responsible?

I used PC banking for the past 6 months, I scheduled the check arrived LL office the first of each month or earlier. But LL always cash it much later. Am I responsible for the late fee? ( max 3% in MD)

Based on the follows, it sounds I am not responsible.

But, what if LL provides the receipt of September 2011 in 2012, am I still responsible?

§ 8-205. Landlord to give tenant receipt.

(a) Required.-
(1) In Anne Arundel County, unless the tenant makes payment by check or rents the property for commercial or business purposes,
if property is leased for any definite term or at will, the landlord shall give the tenant a receipt showing payment and the time period which the payment covers.
(2) On conviction of violating this section, any person or agent shall forfeit the rent for the period in question.

Fidelity told me they see the check arrivall date at the BILLER side. That clarifies if LL post the payment late. If they are late cash the payment, then I should not be responsible for the late fee for that month.
