7 - I disagree with the "try to pay the rent on time" part.
It shouldn't be "try to" .. it should just be "YOU WILL" =)
cos if it's not on time they can charge you a late fee (my last place was 20% of your rent!) and they can start eviction processes. granted yeah there's 'the tenant' movie but... if the landlord/lady has all their ducks in a row they can still start that.
I almost had a heart attack with my old apartment. they put a "pay this NOW" note on my door (as in pay this now or we'll start the eviction process). I knew I was late, but thought the rent had gotten there in time.
Turned out it was the apartment across from me. yeah they fucked up. I don't know if it was their first late or a growing habit but... they had to pay the rent PLUS late fees by a specific date of they would be in trouble.
I did let the manager know however that the note was on the wrong door, cos... I think the apartment had x amount of days to respond and... it's not the tenant's fault maintenance fucked up and hung it on the wrong door.
