Can A RST Be Charged Late Fees If The Rent Is Paid Before The 15th Of The Month? Can You Charge Late Fees On A RST At All In Westchester County?

Your question prevents me from providing a definitive answer to your question -due to the fact I am uncertain as to, which of many Westchester Counties you refer to in the question. There are counties named Westchester County in several States within the United States, as well as Westchester

As renter of an apartment, home or office you accepted a contractual agreement to abide by specific payment dates. There are specific regulations related to imposing additional charges for late payments and this should be clearly stated in your contract. Perhaps you can read this document and locate your answer there.

As to making payment prior to the 15th day of the month this also should be stated in your rental agreement. If, your payment was due prior to the 15th day of the month and was not paid on or before the specified date, then of course your payment would have been late. As to imposing a late fee you will need to check your contract. In most agreements, of which I am aware the imposition of late fees is legal.

Also, if you can contact the local agency for rent control in your local area and your specific questions and seek advice.
