  1. Fill out your Late Fee preferences


  1. Late fees will be added to resident ledgers automatically on the 2nd of each month if you do not have a grace period.
  2. If manual payments are received before a resident is late, but the landlord enters it after a late fee is assessed, please ensure
    you enter the batch date prior to the end of the grace period and the late fee will be removed automatically.
    1. Example:  Grace Period is 5 days and a late fee is assessed on the 6th.  Property receives payment on June 4th, but
      doesn't enter it until June 10th.  When property records the payment, they enter a batch date of June 4th and the late
      fee is automatically removed from the resident ledger.
