LSA-C.C. Article 1938; Doty v. Central Mutual Insurance Company, 186 So.2d 328 (3rd Cir. 1966).
The facts show that rent was pay.able at the end of each rent month, i. e., the '6th day of each month. Suit was filed on February IS, 1965.

Legal interest is due on these last three monthly rental payments only from their respective due dates. The judgment appealed must therefore be amended accordingly. Otherwise, the judgment is affirmed.
There is reserved to the plaintiff appel-lee the right to apply for a further rehearing as to the amendment contained in this per curiam opinion.
Subj ect to the amendment set forth herein, defendant appellant’s application for rehearing is denied.
