My rent check bounced have some questions about fees?

Question

alright well my rent check recently bounced due to a fee that I was unaware of at the time(it was only 5 dollars or so under) anyways my rent was due on a Friday and I didn't find this out until Wednesday night, so I came up with money and went down to the rental office to pay for the rent and fees(10$ a day after 5pm on the day the rent is due plus 35$ for bounced check fee) anyways when I went to the rental office,there was a not on the door saying it was closed and would be closed until tomorrow(tuesday) now I'm worried I'm going to have to pay an extra 50$(10$ per day late fee) on top of all this because there office was closed(no holiday, no prior notice just closed up the office with no contact number)
I did turn in the rent and late fee on thursday through there drop off slot I wrote them a letter signed and dated it and made a copy of it for myself, the lease doesn't say anything about this situation, so am I going to have to pay the extra 50$?

if I'm not clear on anything please ask me to provide details, I'll be monitoring this question until I get an answer

Answer 1

if they are honest, and you took advantage of drop boxes into their facility, they shouldn't charge you the extra day. get a checking account from which you only write checks, nothing else. try it, it works.

Answer 2

first of all as was said if the management group is a reputable company you should have no problems if you have not had a issue before with a bad check, but, and this is a big but, most will not accept a check from you when a bad check has already been issued, they will only accept a money order or a bank certified check to insure that the rent is guaranteed paid. you really need to contact the leasing office to be sure.
good luck.

Answer 3

As a property manager, any resident who immediately takes care of a bounced check and takes the time to write a letter with a fair explanation regarding the circumstances- I only charge the returned check fee and not the daily late fee. The returned check fee is usually what the bank charges us, so it's not there to make money off of. As for the daily late fee, it's enforceable if it's in your lease, but if the leasing office was closed and you did use the drop slot, you should not be charged addtional late fees.

Answer 4

no count what he did no longer do, he had expenditures once you bounced a examine on him. you will desire to pay them. i'm a landlord and if a tenant bounces a examine on me, I fee the comparable fee the economic enterprise expenditures me

Answer 5

The rule is penalizing you for paying your rent late, right? It's not about them receiving it late... I think they'll be fine with your being another day behind, the second day wasn't your doing.
