Got late fee added on the 1st day of the month, guess I forgot to select the correct days when setting up rent collection, seems there is no way to adjust the late fee settings now? Please advice, thank you.

@dude61 I’ll try to assist. Just to be clear, I am just a fellow investor and platform user. I am not formal Stessa tech support.

Are you attempting to adjust your ledger moving forward or correct a charge that is outstanding with an actual tenant? Here are a few suggestions to see what may fix your problem.

Adjust your rent. Within Leases & Tenants screen, there is “Rent History” on the right hand side. Click adjust rent. Make a change to your grace period.

If the late fee has already applied itself to your ledger. You can offset it with a credit:
