APARTMENT HELP-LATE FEES-is this discrimination?

Alright my husband and are have been living in out apartment for about 8 mths now. We have never been late on rent. Rent is considered late on the 3rd. $50.00 late fee added pluse our rent goes up to the normally price of 520(rented when a special was going on). This is what they told him. However the are friedns in the building next to us got an extended date for 10 days!Because they talked to a different person. We told her it would only be one day late. And she was rude and would not listen at all. What can i do, it cant be right that they allow on tenants a grace but not another tenants.

There's nothing you can do, except try talking with them again.

Unfortunately, landlords can go on a tenant by tenant basis, and the same rules don't always have to apply.
If it in you rental contract then it is binding if not you can fight it
Read your contract and take it to the Marshall if you have a problem since he's the one that will evict you when you get kicked out for paying late every month.

Pay your rent two weeks in advance to avoid this problem altogether. Make the 1st half payment at the beginning of the month that is due for the following month. Paying ahead is the best way to avoid paying late. Stop making excuses not to pay early you lazy a**!
are you discriminating against your landlord by paying other bill first?? its the same thing, diff ppl have diff guidelines, just as you dont pay the cable the same time you pay for your electricity....its all diff....you dont pay any other bills, and you cant pay your rent?? how does your computer run?? solar energy?? even if electricity is included in rent, im sure they dont include whatever provider you have for internet service, something is sounding a bit fishy to me here, little missy!!!...maybe instead of wasting company time, and electricity by playing on the computer, you should get back to work...make some money....i know this sounds mean, but its reality...we all deal with it on a daily basis
Can you not write them a check? It won't go through for a couple days. At least two. If you'll have the money in the bank, you don't have to worry about it. Or go to a pay advance place. Get the money for the rent and pay it back as soon as you get paid. Some places just won't work with you. No matter how reliable you've been with payments in the past.

There really are a lot of cruel comments on here. I guess you all have the luxury of not having to live paycheck to paycheck. She's not saying she can't pay her rent, but that the funds won't be available until the 4th. She didn't ask for bashing, she asked for some sound advice.
dont worry. the fat white chick above me just got REPORTED, twice.
