Section 8 Tenant Late fees NJ

[Julian Dozortcev]

Hello All, 

I need someones help asap. I have court tomorow with a tenant of ours who belongs to the section 8 program. They were not paying rent so we are filing for eviction. We are also charging them late fees for the days they paid late close to the end of the month when rent is due on the 1st. Judge said we cannot charge them a late fee but said if we can provide a court case that shows we can he will have the tenant pay it. Can anyone please assist?
