Uh-oh, are you charging late fees for this?

It's been a rocky year.

And let's be real, times are getting tight.

So rent won't always hit your bank on time.

Sometimes, only part of it shows up.

Something is better than nothing, right?!?

Which gets greedy smart Landlords thinking...

Can you charge a late fee when only some of the rent is paid on time?

We know, we know.

Wanting more money when a Tenant is already low on cash feels awkward.

It's kinda like learning to dougie for the first time.

Odd, but you do whatcha gotta do.

Good news:

You can charge late fees on anything less than full rent. 

Even if it's a dollar short?

Yes, little Johnny, even if it's a dollar short...

Just make sure it's in your lease.

No secret handshakes.
