You CAN'T approach this on a case by case basis. Not unless you want one tenant compaining that you enforced it against him, but not against some other tenant that paid late. I can see a cry of discrimination already. (how do you prove that you weren't discriminating against the person you failed to waive it?) If they pay late, they are assessed a late fee. If there are true extenuating circumstances, you send a letter that says due to those you will waive the fee this time ONLY but they will be enforced in the future. This way you don't set a precedent where you can never charge a late fee.
