A property manager may not charge a late fee unless:
It is clearly stated in the written lease
Directions: Read the scenario and answer the questions that follow. Investor Mike
owns a 200-unit residential property. For the last two years, rents have stayed the
same because Mike subscribes to the philosophy that 100% occupancy is better
than losing tenants to his competitors. After attending a real estate investment
seminar, Mike realizes that by not raising rents for the last two years he has been
missing out on literally thousands of dollars in profit. He believes that the market
will support a rental increase, yet he is hesitant of raising the rents so much that
his good tenants will get angry and move elsewhere. After doing some research
into raising rental rates, Mike is now motivated and wants to raise the value of his
asset, so he calls up his property manager, Jay, and informs him that he needs to
raise the rent on each unit by 5% per month in the next 12 months as lease terms
expire or units are re-leased. Jay knows that most of the residents will not balk at
a $45 per month increase because it will cost much more than that to move, but
he also knows there will be some objections, and which exactly which tenants
will object the loudest. He drafts the formal rental increase notice and braces
himself for the onslaught of resident complaints. Assume that the property is at
100% occupancy.
