And I had till the 9th to pay or move. They added a stipulation that I have to come down to their office in person to pay with a money order or cashiers check.. They left this notice on the first of the month. It states in my lease I have till the 4th to pay rent. My rent has never been late, my check has never bounced, and there are no issues with too loud, damaged property or anything like that. My issue is that I am in Utah until the 7th and am unable to get to their office before they start charging me a late fee. I already put my check in the drop box.

Hello sm:

If you paid, and they can't find your check, you're late. But, NO, they can't evict you if you don't show up in person.
