One thing I’d add is that if the late payment isn’t putting you in a financial bind, it might be worth viewing the late fee as a kind of “bonus rent” as long as the tenant stays consistent and doesn’t start slipping further.If the pattern is bothering you enough to consider changes, a structured late fee (like a flat fee plus daily charges) or even a rent increase with clear communication might help prompt a change.
