NH Lawyer,

The $15 can be charged after eviction notice, according to what you wrote. I'm not at that point. To my knowledge some states do have laws that put a cap on what a landlord can charge, New Hampshire is not one of them. The state has no statutes that regulate late fees on rentals. If the tenant in your lease agreed to pay my $50 late fee if rent was not received on the first then that is what you must do.

I have a tenant that has been continually late with their rent for the past several months. Usually paying by the 15th. The tenant ignores the late fee notices. I have a management company but they told me that according to NH law late fees were not enforceable in court and could not be deducted from the security deposit. The lease clearly states that a 5% late fee will be added if the rent is not paid by the 5th of each month. I just want to know what my rights are.
