Rental Payments Due 1st of the Month
Rent payments are due the first day of the month. Rent payments made after the fifth day of the month are subject to a late fee, in addition to other possible penalties. An automatic late fee charge and email notification on the 10th of each month informing you of a late fee charge or past due balance on your account.
