Will I be charged a late fee?

Yes — if your Enclave rent payment is late, you may be charged interest, but only within the limits set by UK tenancy law.

How late fees work

• Grace period: If your rent is just a day or two late due to banking delays, this may not trigger a fee, but you should always inform the team.

• 14 days overdue: Once rent is more than 14 days late, interest may be applied.

• Rate: Interest is capped at 3% above the Bank of England base rate, calculated daily on the overdue amount.

Why late fees exist

• To encourage timely payments and cover the landlord’s costs of chasing arrears.

• They are a standard, legally permitted charge in the UK, not a penalty.

Helpful tip

If you know you may struggle to pay on time, contact the Enclave team as soon as possible. They may be able to agree a short-term plan, which could help you avoid fees and protect your tenancy record.
