Late Charge contract clause examples

Late Charge. In addition to its other remedies, Landlord shall have the right without notice or demand to add to the amount of any payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, and which is not paid and received by Landlord on or before the first day of each calendar month, an amount equal to an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount, or $150.00, whichever amount is greater, for each month or portion thereof that the delinquency remains outstanding to compensate Landlord for the loss of the use of the amount not paid and the administrative costs caused by the delinquency, the parties agreeing that Landlord’s damage by virtue of such delinquencies would be extremely difficult and impracticable to compute and the amount stated herein represents a reasonable estimate thereof. Any waiver by Landlord of any late charges or failure to claim the same shall not constitute a waiver of other late charges or any other remedies available to Landlord.

Delinquent Payments. If any sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease is not paid when due, Tenant shall also pay a late charge equal to one hundred dollars ($100.00) or ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount, whichever is greater. In addition, any amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at an annual rate of fifteen percent (15%). Any late charges and interest shall be deemed and constitute Additional Rent under the Lease and shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) calendar days from receipt of any statement or invoice from Landlord. Landlord reserves all other rights and remedies provided to Landlord at law and under this Lease.

LATE CHARGES. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that said amount is delinquent, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount plus any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice that said amount is delinquent shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of # the annual "Bank Prime Loan" rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Publication (415), published on the first Tuesday of each calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published) plus four (4) percentage points, and # the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Late Charges. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent, additional rent or any other sum on or before the date such payment is due and payable (subject to any grace period), then Landlord shall have the right to impose upon Tenant in writing a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. In addition, such payment and such late fee shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment or such late fee, respectively, became due to the date of payment thereof by Tenant. Such late charge and interest shall constitute additional rent due hereunder without any notice or demand. Notwithstanding anything contained in this [Section 19.5] to the contrary, no late fee shall be due on the first instance of Tenant’s late payment of a regularly recurring installment in any period of twelve (12) successive months.

Late Payment Rent. Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 6% of the overdue Rent as a late charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing a late charge the first time in any calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the delinquency and will waive the right if Tenant pays such delinquency within 5 days thereafter. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until paid.

If Landlord fails to receive all or any portion of the monthly Net Rent within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. Tenant and Landlord agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due shall cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which shall be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord # an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue Rent as a late charge plus # interest at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of # ten percent (10%) and # the highest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord shall incur by reason of late payment by Tenant and shall be payable as Additional Rent to Landlord due with the next installment of Rent or within five (5) business days after Landlord’s demand, whichever is earlier, provided Tenant has at least five (5) business days in which to pay such late charge after such charge is incurred. Landlord’s acceptance of any Additional Rent (including a late charge or any other amount hereunder) shall not be deemed an extension of the date that Rent is due or prevent Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity.
