No match. Clear the box to see every place, or read the general rule above.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has no statewide law that gives you extra days to pay after the rent due date. A grace period (extra time to pay before a late fee starts) exists only if your lease gives you one. Read the rent part of your lease. It sets the amount, the due date, and any late penalty.
No Pennsylvania statute caps late fees for most rentals. The Attorney General's guidance says a late fee should not be too high. The fee should match what the late payment really costs the landlord.
