Avoiding Penalties
Avoiding Late Fees
One of the most common of penalties is the late fee. Avoiding late fees is simple, pay on time or pay a little early. The fine for turning in your rent late is $5 a day. You are already paying a fair price for the property, pay on time and avoid paying extra.
Leave the Property Clean
Leave your property clean and in good condition. You pay a deposit to offset the costs of cleaning up a home, if necessary. Unfortunately it is becoming more common to not return the deposit. This is your money kept in reserve for when you decide to move on, don't waste it by leaving the property a mess.
