Late Rent or not

[Devin E.]

Good afternoon,

I have a tenant, who waits until the day rent is do to tell me that she could not make it to the bank to deposit the rent into my account. she called that night and asked if I could pick the cash up at the property. Our agreement is that she will deposits all rent moneys into the account provided to her on or before the first of the month.  I was unable to drive to the property and pick up the rent so I notified her that she would have to deposit the rent into the account the next day.

So my question is, do I charge her a late fee because the rent was not deposited by the first? This is not her first or second time being late on the rent.

this property is located in southern California

Thank you for you help in advance
