Late Rent - Demand for Payment

Each rental period a landlord anticipatively awaits payment. Unfortunately, one of the negatives that comes with being a landlord is encountering a tenant who is late on rent. The exhausting task of reminding a tenant of overdue rent is an ongoing challenge for many property owners. Often a landlord will procrastinate in the hopes that by doing nothing the rent money will appear. Usually that is not the case. Every day that goes by without receiving the rent, is money lost.
