I saw on Judge Judy once that if the landlord makes and exception on one part of the contract then basically the whole contract is worthless!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-80867182781155433992008-05-03T11:27:00.000-07:002008-05-03T11:27:00.000-07:00There is actually something else you should consid...There is actually something else you should consider - discrimination.<BR/><BR/>At this point, it seems like you only have the one property, but lets assume for a second you had two. If both tennants pay late and you only collect the late payment fee from one of them, the one who paid you could raise the issue of discrimination (for whatever reason they wanted). It would also be the same if your _next_ tennant paid late with the fee and somehow found out you never collected late fees from the previous tennant.<BR/><BR/>Basically, if it is in the contract, you should adhere to it without exception. It's safer in the long run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-7458927272915413492008-05-02T20:54:00.000-07:002008-05-02T20:54:00.000-07:00Good news.

I'd suggest following up on the autopay while the memory of the late payment is still fresh in the tenant's mind.traineeinvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179861120801348035noreply@blogger.com
