Aloha,Given that this is the first month using the Avail system, unless you specifically provided the tenant in advance with information on the lag time from first hand experience, I would let it go and simply inform them of how the timing did not work out, and have them adjust their "pay" date accordingly, reminding them of the "late" date and penalty for future payments.

Does anyone else feel this way?

I will reach out to them all. :-)  I appreciate this.I'm going to be there in a month and hope to meet one of them.There are a good deal of healthcare professionals renting MTR's in the area, so I'm hoping one of the agents I connect with is familiar with MTR's.
