In the local courts, that is all they will enforce.

It's not really about what the courts will enforce. It's about what your state legislature has put in your LL/T laws for a maximum per day. We in Iowa have a max of $12/day-$60/month on rent amounts of $700 or below. And $20/day-$100/month on all rents above $700. We can charge the T those fees as long as we collect them in the month (or the following month)that the T was late. BUT----we cannot put down ANY late fee amounts when we file for non-pay of rent in the court system. If we put down even $1 for a late fee, in addition to the actual rent, we automatically lose. So, again, is there anything in your actual LL/T laws that state what you can charge for late fees?
