Due date error on the lease

[Jendayi Brandon]

Hello-

I made a typo on the lease that stated rent would be late after the 10th or each month but it should have been the 5th. My tenant is refusing to sign an amendment. Is this one that I have to eat?

-thanks

Yes, you have to honor it. 

Your tenant doesn't want to pay by the first, so that's a red flag. Just keep a close eye on them. Don't waiver in your terms. Charge the late fee when it is due, every time. Start the eviction process on the first available date, every time.
