30 seconds to avoid problems and increase fees
Try offering a semi-monthly lease period to borderline tenants. Here are the reasons you may want to do this
1. You can make the lates fees on each 15 day period.
2. You will know 15 days earlier if there is trouble with the rent
3. You can up charge for the semi monthly handling.
4. It may fit the tenant better. Some get paid twice a month.
My software is set up for semi monthly. Automatically will calculate late fees.
