The first few times, I didn't charge a late fee.

Quote from @James Hampton: How about a quick check before you have to charge a screening fee? 

Quote from @Jonathan Bombaci: This year, our management company, which oversees 700+ units in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, spent over $209,000 on attorney fees, primarily related to evictions.

Beyond that, sending upfront fees to a lender is not okay.

Quote from @Mary Jo Carruthers: Fees for buyers side has never been set in stone.

Most folks are charging 10% of the rental rate for monthly PM fees. 1 months rent for a leasing fee and couple hundred for a lease renewal.

I've seen it with my own eyes, my real estate ventures have hit the jackpot thanks to these tactics.Now, let's dive into boosting that revenue through clever fees and rebranding.Charging appropriate fees during the application and move-in process is essential.

I am in PA and yes, it is legal to charge late fees to your tenant regardless of Section 8 subsidies or not, provided the tenant's lease allows for them.

The judge had doubts about the veracity of the website I was using to collect the rent (I gave him a print out of the payments and non-payments from the website) and thought we should have driven to unlock the door for the tenant when he locked himself out (3 hours) instead of telling him that was his issue and he should call a locksmith.In the end the judge asked him how much he thought he owed us and he did his calculations in the courtroom, not having this prepared. 

And that's if CA want's to flip the $300m/ $400m in legal fee's to keep fighting for it, for decades.
