Can a utility company charge a late charge on a late charge that is carrying forward? They claim they apply the payment to the late charge first and then because the remaining balance doesn't match the total due, they continue to charge an additional late fee on the unpaid balance. Doesn't this amount to charging a late fee for an unpaid late fee no matter how they wash it through the billing?
Daily Late Fees. The beauty of charging a daily late fee in addition to a one-time fee is that once the tenant incurs the initial fee, there is still financial motivation to deliver the money as soon as possible. Personally, I charge a $20 daily fee, starting on the 2nd late day and every day thereafter, until rent is paid in full. This ensures that the tenant will continue to attempt to pay rent quickly, even if it is officially late. When you use a one-time fee and a daily late fee together, it really provides incentive for the tenant to pay rent on time.
