Forum / General Property Management / Late Fee Charges
What is a reasonable amount to charge for late fees? I am charging 600. a month for rent in Oklahoma.

RE: Late Fee Charges
In Oklahoma late fees should be directly related to the costs incurred of the rent being late. It seems that in my experience 5-10% is usually pretty customary.

As long as it falls within the lease. Usually you cannot increase rent on a tenant during the term. but you can however usually notify your tenant ahead of time (the amount of time varies according to the location of the rental property and the length of the tenancy) in order to give tenant time to accept the new rent or move.

utilities were not put in the tenants name therefore I was still paying utilities. the tenant finally put in their name but they still owe me 300.00 for payment of utilities.

RE: Late Fee Charges
Barbara: If it is in the agreement or lease that the tenant is responsible for the utilites, then they areing responsible for paying them. I would send a notice that they have the $300 still due.
