Charging me too much for late fees they have their computer that is not updated and they keep on charging and charging
A: Your landlord cannot charge you late fees unless you are late as described in your lease agreement. How often the landlord updates their computer is irrelevant to this determination. If your rent is due on the 1st and you pay your rent on the 1st, it doesn't matter when they input that information into their computer. What matters is the date they received your rent payment. Many landlords provide electronic payment methods which create a clear electronic trail with which you can easily prove your payment was timely.
