Late Rent Payments (Again)

Late Rent Payments

March 7, 2006

Dear Ms. Menudo,

As you know, we value you as a tenant and you have been in the building for a long time without causing us any problems.

Thank you for calling to let us know your March rent payment would be late. It was not clear in your message when you would be paying. I thought you said, “Next week.” I was not sure if that meant the week ending the 11th or the 18th.

We hate it when good tenants pay their rent after the 10th of the month, because it forces us to do something we don’t want to do: File court papers against a good tenant. We are required to do this to protect our legal rights. Because the courts in High Ho County have slowed down, when we have problems with tenants it now takes much longer to resolve; so we can not delay in our filings. If rent is not received by the end of the day on the 10th, we normally file court papers. The tenant is then required to pay $29 in court filing fees plus $50 in attorney’s fees.

Because you are a good tenant, I will wait until the 13th before filing. Hopefully your payment will be received by then and I will not have to file at all.

Thank you for you understanding.

Very truly yours,
