Attorney fee reimburement from tenant

[Ernie G.]

Hello eveyone,

I recently had a situation where I served a late pay tenant with a 5 day notice to quit, and after it expired the tenant suddenly paid in full; but not before I racked up $300 in attorney fees in beginning the eviction process. The tenants lease agreement states that I can recover attorney fees. 

If this happenned to you, would you pursue the tenant for the attorney fees?

Thank you in advance.
