Troublesome Tenant Fees

[Jeff Cotton]

I have a house that every month the person is late.  I charge late fees and so far he has paid them.  But he is still late VERY LATE every month.  I am continually running into trouble because I have to hound this guy for the rent payment.  He has been as late as two months.  At wits end, I send him a 7 Day Letter letting him know I am booting him and he pays.  But I am sick of messing with this guy.  I am actually helping a friend who owns the property because she is older and doesn't want the hassle of messing with the house.  So because I have several I volunteered to help her.  But I am tired of running this guy down every month with 10-15 calls and stopping by his place of employment and the other folks always saying he is not there... and texting to no avail.  I was wondering if I can charge some type of "worthless scumbag dealings" fee?  Any thoughts?
