How do I pay a late payment charge?
It's a separate payment from the rent card, never bundled into your rent and never taken by auto-pay.
If interest has accrued, your rent card shows what's accrued and a Pay late fee button. It's a distinct payment from the rent itself — it's never added onto a rent charge, and auto-pay never collects it.
You're emailed a confirmation showing the rate applied, how many days overdue the rent was, and the due date — the arithmetic you'd need to check the figure yourself.
Worth knowing: Your landlord can waive an accrued charge. If they have, the payment is refused with a message saying so — you don't owe it.
