Zero-Tolerance Late Rental Payment Policy

EJF upholds a zero-tolerance policy on late rental payments and always stays in full compliance with the latest DC Landlord-Tenant laws.

All rents in EJF-managed properties are due on the 1st of each month.
On the 5th of each month, unpaid rents are considered late. A note is sent to the Tenant and late fees are applied to the Tenant account.

In the District of Columbia, evictions are not simple legal matters. Even with great management, the path to eviction in DC can take months, sometimes much longer, and cause the landlord significant stress and financial loss. For this reason, we always encourage our landlords to begin eviction proceedings at the first legal opportunity. Delay is not beneficial.

Upon Landlord notification and approval, eviction proceedings begin on the earliest date of non-payment.
- For non-paying Tenants with a positive payment history, an eviction notice is typically filed on the 15th of month.
- For non-paying Tenants with a negative payment history, an eviction notice is typically filed on the 5th of the month.
