<DIV>I have a landlord under a written commercial lease whose tenant continually
is late with payments. I have had to prepare and have served 3 “3 day
notices to pay or vacate” in the last 3 months. Even with the payment of
late fees, this is getting expensive. Is there a rule of thumb, or any
authority that after a certain number of late payments, (and this lease does not
have this as a provision) that Landlord can just do a notice to vacate and
indicate that no more rent will be accepted, perhaps after there have been a few
warnings “please note if you don’t make future payments on time, Landlord will
forfeit the lease”. and when this is contested in a UP action, we
say “judge, we have suffered 5 months of late payments... please forfeit this
badboy”.</DIV>
