Pennsylvania Late fee grace period

Is there a grace period before a late fee can be charged in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 sets no late-fee grace period or cap (full act read). The Attorney General's tenant guide says late fees should not be excessive and should bear a reasonable relation to the landlord's cost.
