Just curious what others do.. What do others think about charging an additional fee of ~$30 for posting a 3day pay or quit. It would be disclosed in new leases and an addendum sent for current leases.

Thanks

Per the lease, anything the tenant does, allows, or fails to do any act that causes me to enforce one ore more provision(s) of the lease -- including by not limited to -- damages, city nuisance violations, non-payment of rent, etc result in an Admin Fee of 10% of the cost to remedy or $50, whichever is greater.

Learn to love the AdminFee. It's how you get paid for those 20% of tenants that cause 80% of your problems. Hopefully, "wallet training" straightens them up. But if not, at least you have beer money.

k,

MY goal is to get paid, not to push them out - unless you want them out and need the official P or Q for court.

I don't charge for texting a late payment reminder. Copy/ paste. 90% pay within 24 hours or respond "I'll have it on Friday."

"Joe, Your rent bounced. Pay $XXX at First Bank acct# 123456 or Venmo @BRAD20,000 within 24 hours to avoid sheriff eviction/lockout. Write your name on the receipt and text us a photo of it as proof of payment."

Notice I say nothing about QUITTING.

If they do not pay or ghost us, THEN we do the official P or Q notice to prepare for court. We've only lost a day or two.

Judge in my area only allows 10% as late fees. This stinks because they have no financial incentive to pay it until the last day of the month.
