Reply to comment by badquarter in Would being late on rent on my second last month of my lease affect my renewal? by scumbagge
Fuck I wish I had that. They never answer. Idek how this shit is even legal man. When I first saw it in the mail I was like this must be a mistake. $4 toll but I have to pay $54??? Multiply that by a few trips and now it’s a few hundreds. It’s Extortion

It's not easy. My mom is retired so she has the free time to keep calling and stay on hold for an hour. She just doesn't like letting them win. At least you know for next time - call and let them know you're down to pay but can't afford the fine.

Oh but to give you peace of mind, once you're current with your rent, your landlord must offer renewal by law. If they're trying to get you out, maybe they'll try to offer it at a higher rate to deter you. Did you already sign a renewal?

No it’s in January I believe. Lease started feb 1st. Maybe I could pay late this once. I just need to get a renewal.

Explain what happened and let them know you'll pay the associated late fee. Life happens.
