Consistent late rent payments

started a topic about 7 years ago

I have a rental in Virginia and my tenant is late every month with his rent since his lease begin in November 2017. I send him rent reminders, late rent notices and 5 day or vacate notices. He does not respond until the 5 day pay or vacate notice and he always has a reason why he has not paid. He then gives a date he can pay and he pays by that time it's the 20th or so of the rent due month. By VA law can I end his lease early and/or not accept payment after the date on the 5 day pay or vacate notice. Any guidance is welcomed.

This tenant should at least be In charge of any fees you receive associated with the late rent payments.
