In Slovakia, dealing with late rent payments revolves around the written lease agreement and the Civil Code.
Contractual Penalties
Landlords are permitted to charge late fees or penalty interest if the tenant fails to pay rent on time, but these penalties must be explicitly agreed upon in the lease contract. Penalty clauses must be reasonable. Extremely high daily rates may be invalidated by a court.
