Late Rent Reminder Notice

A friendly, firm reminder that rent is late, with the amount due and any late fee.

Good for: Landlords and property managers who want to remind a tenant of unpaid rent in writing before taking any other step.

Before you sign

  • This is a reminder, not an eviction notice. Most states require a specific written notice, with a set number of days, before eviction can start. Do not skip it.
  • Keep a copy, and write down when and how you delivered it.
  • If your lease allows a late fee, charge only what the lease and your state's law allow.
