Verbatim from your lease
“The tenant shall pay a late fee of $100 per day for any rent payment received after the 1st of the month.”
Clause 12 · page 3 of 11
In plain English

A landlord cannot charge you anything beyond the rent and the specific fees the Act allows. A $100-per-day penalty is not one of them — on a two-week delay this clause claims $1,400 it almost certainly cannot collect.

RetrievedRTA s.134 (1)
No landlord shall, directly or indirectly, collect or require a tenant to pay any fee, premium, commission, bonus, penalty, key deposit or other like amount of money.

One number you can argue with.

Severity is weighted by how far each clause departs from the statute and how much it can cost you. Every point traces back to a section you can cite at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
