Payments received after March 15 will incur a late charge of $50.00. The unpaid balance and late charges shall become a lien on the Property and the Business Manager shall be duly authorized by the Board of Directors to file a lien against the Property for which the assessment is in arrears with the Recorder of Deeds, Lake County, Illinois.

b. In the event checks for such assessment payment(s) are returned for insufficient funds or closed accounts, or any other payment or settlement remains unpaid, the following actions will take place:

(i) Interest will be charged at a rate of one percent (1%) per month on the unpaid balance retroactive to January 15th of the year the assessment is due;
