Maine late fee calculator: is your rent late fee legal?
What the law says in Maine: Rent is late only if not paid within 15 days of the due date, and the late fee may not exceed 4% of one month's rent. No late fee may be charged unless the tenant was told in writing, when the rental agreement was made, that a fee of up to 4% may be charged.
