Mississippi late fee calculator: is your rent late fee legal?
What the law says in Mississippi: No provision found in the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act that caps, limits or requires a grace period for late fees. The Act defines 'rent' to include any late fees required to be paid under the rental agreement by a defaulting tenant (89-8-7(1)(k)), so a late fee is a matter of the lease. Other titles of the Mississippi Code were not searched.
