Written three-day notices or rent demands in all cases involving rent-stabilized tenants were served in March 1993. Service of the notices was followed by service of notices of petition and petitions. Aside from demanding payment of rent due for February 1993, each three-day notice demanded payment of amounts for collection costs, legal fees, and late charges. These items were demanded pursuant to lease provisions which defined "collection costs and legal fees” and "late charges” as items of additional rent. Every one of the three-day notices in these cases demanded payment of $375 for collection costs, legal fees of either $36.75 or $39.75, and late charges of $15,2 in addition to the disputed monthly rent amount.
