When is my rent due?
All rents are due to Landlord Property Management San Antonio on the 1st (first) of each month. Late fees posted starting midnight on the 3 rd (fourth) of each month. Our late fee policy is 10% of the month’s rent starting the 4th of the month. In accordance with the lease agreement and the Texas Property Code – all payments made to the property manager will be credited in the following ways:
- Any payments made go to late fees, maintenance fees, or other administrative fees FIRST.
- Any balances left after the fees are brought current can be applied to rent SECOND.
Example: $1,500 per month in rent. Resident forgets to pay rent on normal time and pays rent on the 4th of the month. The total late fees would be $150.00.
If the resident pays rent of $1,500 – that payment applies FIRST to the late fees ($150.00) and SECOND to rent for $1,350.00. If the current late fee is NOT paid prior to the next month’s charge, an additional late fee will be incurred, as it will accrue.
This makes the rent still late and unpaid. Unpaid rent is grounds for eviction. All of this is in compliance with the Texas Property Code.
Additional Fees: In the efforts to collect rent, we are obligated to protect the owner and their best interests. If a resident is late paying rent with no response to our collection efforts via email and phone – notice will be posted to their front door. Once this occurs, the resident will be charged for that notice being posted.
