58-816a. Late fees; rental agreement provision required. (a) An operator may impose a reasonable late fee, as defined in K.S.A. 58-814, and amendments thereto, for each month an occupant does not pay rent when it is due, in an amount not to exceed $20 per month or 20% of the monthly rental amount, whichever is greater, for each late rental payment.

(c) The operator may recover all reasonable rent collection and lien enforcement expenses from the occupant in addition to any late fees imposed.
