Rental Late Fees in Raleigh NC

By
Real Estate Agent with MainStreet Realty Services, Inc. 270888

Late fees can be charged to the Tenant only after the rent is 5 days or more late.

The Tenant can be charged $15.00 or or 5% of the monthly rent, whichever is more.

So $15.00 or 5%...which should I use?

It sounds simpler to charge 5%, but ...

  • Subsidized Housing:  If the property is subsidized, you charge 5% of the portion of the rent the tenant pays
  • the fee may only be charged once per month.  It cannot be increased based upon the number of days past the payment date.
