Allowable Landlord Fees to Tenant

[Toan Hoang]

To date I have been very passive in charging and collecting fees other than the normal late charges, etc..  However after doing some reading and realizing that having some of these fees help curb tenant behaviour, I was wondering if there are any statutes that limit what a landlord can charge a tenant for.  For example losing a key, after hour service calls related to NON emergency issue to name a few.  The intent is not to create a profit center through fees but its good  to know what if any constraints exist in Pennsylvania for landlord tenant fees.

@Toan Hoang it is NOT insane to charge for a lost key. Last I heard, keys cost money to replace.

As others have said, you need to check your state laws. There are a lot of web sites with specific state law and even guides to help you. START HERE
