Rents are collected in accordance with Oregon Landlord/Tenant laws. If rent is not received by the date specified in the rental agreement, phone/email/text contact is attempted. At Barker & Calkins discretion, if the rent becomes seven (7) days or more past due, the tenant will receive proper notice to pay or vacate, as allowed by law. Tenants are advised of these policies as part of the initial check-in process. Late fees are set in the rental agreement and incurred if rent is paid more than five (5) days after rent is due.

Rental due dates are generally set up for the first of each month; late fees collected after the fifth of each month, if warranted, and any non-payment notices given on the eighth day or later. An itemized disbursement with complete documentation of expenses including copies of any invoices is mailed to the owner approximately mid-month, allowing for checks to clear.
