Your rent is ALWAYS due on the first day of the month.  Your rent is late as of midnight on the first day of the month, but we give you a grace period until the 5th day of the month.  If your rent is not received in our office by 5:00pm on the 5th day of the month then your account will automatically be charged a late fee of $75 (unless your lease has another late fee provision).  This late fee amount is due with your rent payment.
