Late fees that enforce themselves.
Set your late fee rules once and Shuk applies them automatically — on the right day, at the right amount, with notifications to everyone involved. No more uncomfortable reminders, no more fees forgotten in a spreadsheet.
Your rules, automated
Configure grace periods, fee amounts, flat or percentage, one-time or recurring. Shuk runs the rule against every lease so you never have to decide on the fly.
02
Applied on the right day
When rent is late and the grace period ends, Shuk posts the fee to the tenant ledger and notifies both sides — without you lifting a finger.
03
Tracked separately from rent
Late fees live on their own line in the ledger, so your rent reporting stays clean and your end-of-year totals tell the real story.
Automation
Set it once, enforce it forever
Chasing late fees is one of the most uncomfortable parts of being a landlord. Shuk removes the conversation by turning your late fee policy into a rule the system enforces for you.
Grace periods you control
Set how many days after the due date a tenant has before a fee applies. Different properties can have different grace periods if your leases vary.
Flat or percentage fees
Charge a flat $50, 5% of rent, or anything else your lease specifies. Shuk supports one-time and recurring rules so you can match your lease terms exactly.
Automatic notifications
Tenants see a notification when the fee is applied so there's no surprise and no argument — just a clear record.
Transparency
Clean reporting, clean conversations
Late fees that get tangled in with rent payments are a mess at tax time. Shuk keeps them cleanly separated so your rent totals stay rent and your fees stay fees.
Separate line items
Every late fee is its own transaction in the tenant ledger and your financial reports. Easy to audit, easy to explain.
Tenant-facing transparency
Tenants can see exactly when a fee was applied and why. That's the end of 'I already paid' back-and-forth over text.
Respects your lease
Shuk enforces what you set up — it doesn't override local regulations or lease terms. You stay in control of policy.
