How late fees are calculated

Aptoria shows the fee calculation against your policy and configured location checks. Review the lease and current local rules before posting a charge.

Your late-fee policy supplies the proposed amount and timing: a flat fee, a percentage, or a combination after a grace period. Aptoria can display configured location checks alongside that proposal before posting.

Location rules and lease terms can change or add conditions that a state setting alone cannot resolve. Confirm the current rule for the property and review any conflict before assessing a fee.

Compare your chosen grace period and amount with the applicable lease and current local requirements. A displayed cap or date is a review aid, not a legal clearance.

Some rules depend on lease wording, property type, municipality, or the date of the charge. Record the rule and source you relied on with the fee so the decision can be checked later.

Unattended fee posting is limited to workflows with a reviewed rule and an enabled owner policy. If the rule, lease clause, or source record is missing or uncertain, the fee should be held for an authorized person to review.

Your autonomy settings sit on top of this. A "waive small late fees" allowance and per-task spend limits can let the agent handle or forgive small fees on its own, while anything above your limits comes to your approval queue. Whatever posts, the amount and its reasoning are written to the audit trail. Late-fee rules vary by state, so treat this as how the product applies your policy, not as legal advice.
