    Q: What Happens If I Cannot Pay Rent In Full By The Due Date?

    A: If you are unable to pay rent on the first of the month, contact our office immediately. We pride ourselves on being understanding to situations and offer a 5-day grace period.

You will be served with a five-day legal notice when your rent is late. If rent isn’t paid and we don’t hear from you, we have no choice but to begin the eviction process.
