And Late Fees Read your lease carefully.
Every lease is structured differently.
Some leases will indicate a percentage of the rent amount while others will give a dollar amount. Landlords are usually willing be accept multiple checks from the roommates who signed the lease. Don't be afraid to submit more than one check but be sure that the checks total the full rent amount. If you must pay your rent in cash get a signed receipt. Landlords and property management companies make mistakes too.
