    That depends.

    Most areas have a renters or tenants resource office. Try looking for one in your area. You can also call your state attorney generals office and ask for help or referrals if you feel that your landlord might be acting illegally.

    Make sure to have your lease handy so you can see just what you agreed too.

    What your landlord tells you and what they can do legally are sometimes quite different things. Know your rights!

    Probably not but it varies by state. Here landlords charge $20 on the 4th (rent due by 3rd) and then $1.00 a day after that. Read the lease. It should tell you. They could technically evict you on the day after rent is due.

    It should be spelled out in your lease agreement. If you signed it, you agreed to the terms.
