I would terminate her after end of lease for continual late payment. The 28th and the 6th is far too late. The rent is due by the 1st at the latest, preferably a few days before. She won't change. Tenant is unreliable.

You are not from Ontario are you? You can't terminate as Berubeland mentioned she has tenure, so I can ask her to leave but that's about it.
Question: Do those forms cost anything to fill out? (N4, N8, L1,L9)
Nah, just print them from the website.
Are there late fee penalties you can charge to atleast pay for your time? Though, I think this would have to have been written into the lease and may not be legal in Ontario?
Also, I have to say this was a really interesting thread.
Late fees are not legal although you can put a prompt payment discount into the lease. However; interestingly even though tons of buildings use the GTAA lease that has this prompt payment discount written into it, I've met exactly 2 tenants who have read their lease and asked for their discount. The phrasing used is clear as mud.

Ah back from the dead.
Tenant was paying, until this month. Finally got most of it today. Tenant is now leaving. The search is on for a new one. Fun fun!
That's the worst part.Originally Posted by jamesbe
Absolutely horrible. Nothing stresses me out more. Except maybe 5 o'clock traffic.
Yeah but I don't have to live with mine so not too bad. As long as they seem like decent people that will pay the rent and not destroy the place. All good.
Also I'm renting near the upper end, 3 bedroom 3 bath so it tends to attract better tenants... one hopes.
Last time I put it for tender the place was a pig sty. I've since replaced all the appliances, flooring and redid the kitchen. So should be easier. I've got one guy that wants it already but not sure he qualifies.

Wow. You've replaced a lot.
I haven't replaced a single thing yet.
The only thing I've gotten is a small dent in the wall and a broken mirror. Nothing $50 couldn't fix...
