Conditions in home financing contracts : late fees and penalties

Fatawa Question

In a buy-in-installments / lease agreement, would a late fee, or a breach of contract penalty fee, be considered Riba ? For example, if I miss a payment one month, I would be charged 10 euro for not fulfilling my side of the contract for that particular month, and the lease would be extended one more month.
