Landlord Question and Answer Forum
late rent in Arizona
I am a landlord in Arizona.
My question is: When is rent legally late in terms of Arizona landlord/tenant law? My understanding of the law is that even though my tenant has a 5-day grace period, the rent is still considered late if it is not paid on the due date.
This is the second time since December 2009 that my tenant has paid her rent on the 5th day of the month.
Is my understanding correct or incorrect? I'm in desperate need of help.
Thank you.

According to AZ Landlord Tenant law 33-361 - a tenant has a 5 day grace period. There are no statutory limits on the amount a landlord may charge for a late fee as long as he grace period passes. Legally your tenant has this five day grace period, therefore as long as it is paid on the 5th day after it is due, there is little you can do.

I recently learned by going to court in AZ the judge caps the amount of late fees regardless of numbers of days and contract language.
