Calculation of penalties for charges or fees in arrears
Where any charge or fee payable by any tenant, owner or licensee to the Town Council is in arrears, the tenant, owner or licensee is liable to pay for every month in which there are any arrears a penalty at the appropriate rate set out in the Schedule.
The penalty in respect of the arrears for each month is due and payable on the last day of the month.
Administrative fee
If any tenant, owner or licensee is in arrears consecutively for a period of 5 months or more (called the arrears period) for the payment of charges or fees to the Town Council —
the Town Council may, in addition to the penalty under by‑law 3, impose on the tenant, owner or licensee a one‑time administrative fee of $60 in respect of the amount of charges or fees in arrears during the arrears period (called the outstanding amount); and
the tenant, owner or licensee is liable to pay that administrative fee to the Town Council within the time specified by the Town Council.
To avoid doubt, if the outstanding amount continues to be in arrears after the arrears period, no further administrative fee may be imposed under paragraph (1) in respect of that outstanding amount.
