Depends on the state, but generally, after 30 days of non-payment, they begin the lien process by placing one of their own locks over yours, which means you can no longer access your unit. They can charge late fees the second you're late and in some states have the right to place the overlock at that point in time.

30-60 days after that, after sending certified letters and a public notice in the local newspaper, they are allowed to auction your stuff to try to recover the amount you owe.

Can a property management office evict you after 5 days after the 5th of the month here in Las Vegas and can they also charge you all those late fees?

Get a copy of your lease and check what it says about late payments. Most do charge late fees and if you are late a number of times, they evict you. If the fees are beyond that, check the Landlord and Tenant laws for your state. Rent is a fixed expense and there is usually no latitude as to when it is due regardless of your situation.

How can you get an abandoned title for a car that is on your property with a lien holder if the owner can't be found and owes over 2000 in storage fees?

The first step is to contact the leinholder. If they think it is worth repoing. they will pay the $2000 in "storage fees". Be sure and check your state laws for how many days you have to contact the leinholder AND how many days storage the leinholder has to pay AFTER you notify them. The first $1900 in "fees" is likely an investment you will have to eat(include at NO cost). Wouldnt it be great if you could "store" your friends car until the "storage fees" were higher than any lender would pay, them you magically get the TITLE?? Sorry, this ain't Kansas and you ain't the Tinman. It don't work that way. After you notify the lender , if they decide they don't want it, you are stuck with a car and NO TITLE.Each state has laws designed to handle this situation. Call the DMV in your state for more info. Or Google "abandoned vehicle + Your state".

Can your landlord charge you a 150 a day late fee?

Probably not. Whether any late fee can be charged depends on your state's laws, but excessive late fees are disallowed in almost every state. A fee as high as yours might even be usury (an illegally high interest rate). The states that do address late fees in their laws usually require that the late fee be agreed to in writing at the beginning of the tenancy. You might consider writing the landlord a letter stating that you are not paying the late fee, and just keep paying the rent. Bear in mind, however, most states allow a landlord to evict a tenant for being late with the rent repeatedly. In Massachusetts, you can be evicted for being late twice in twelve months.
