Holiday Rentals Apartments

Laws from the end housing in New York?
The rent is due on January 1, but I was out of town. Owner responds to calls to say he is recovering from income, I say I'm out of town and will return January 2. He says he will pay a late fee of $ 75 per day for the rent of $ 800. Is this legal? Given that a lot of money on late fees, which was a holiday, the order is dated 12/31, but never to obtain that day, and the stairs of the apartment is on the verge of collapse and fixed by placing a brick in a loose piece of the support beam … is not working. Can anyone help?
"He says I have to pay a late fee of $ 75 per day in rent from $ 800. Is this legal? Whether your lease say? Regarding the condition of the home / building would be a completely separate issue, unless you mean to suggest that this location away from the rent until repairs are made. in this case, you may find yourself in court cost hundreds of dollars in legal fees.
