A good written late rent notice should include the following information: Date of the late rent notice; Name of all tenants on the lease; Name of the landlord or property manager; Property address; Amount of rent past due; Grace period (if any); Late fee amount if the rent is not paid in full by the grace period;
If a renter can't pay rent the day it is due (usually the 1st of the month), landlords have to wait at least 7 calendar days before they charge a late fee. (Calendar days means weekends and holidays count toward that 7-day minimum.) If the renter pays their rent in those 7 days, no late fee should be charged.
Some states mandate a particular rent due date, usually the first of each month, and cap the amount that landlords can charge as a late fee. But in most states, those decisions are up to the landlord. In South Carolina, the grace period is 5 days.
In Missouri, there is no statutory requirement specifying a minimum delinquency period for filing an eviction action due to nonpayment of rent. Landlords can technically file an eviction when the tenant is even a day late and a dollar short.
