How much amount can the landlord charge as late fee for unpaid rent if the rent is less than 700 dollars?
I couldn’t pay the rent for the last month. So I owe my landlord 450 dollars as rent, which is already a big amount for me. The landlord now wants me to pay him a late fee of 20 dollars per day. I find this amount a bit too much for late rent penalty. What is the law on late fee in case of unpaid rent in Iowa?
