[RPPTL LandTen] Excessive late fees

[Todd Allen]

Has anyone successfully argued that a late fee is excessive and therefore unconscionable?  If you have examples I’d love to hear about them.  My client’s monthly rent is $2100 a month.  Lease states that there is a late fee of $25 per day.  He’s facing a $950.00 late fee charge for being little over a month late.  Seems excessive to me.
