The client kept the machine past the term: how to bill the rent?

The monthly rental expired but the client kept the machine 22 more days because of programme delay.

No extension was signed, and now he only offers 60% of the shift rate.

What is the strongest position here?

    With entry records and daily signed shift sheets it is easy; without written confirmation you can only negotiate.

    Add an automatic extension clause: 1.2 times the daily rate if not returned on time.

    Send a written demand first and keep proof of delivery; it improves your position later.
