You can talk to your landlord and explain to them when would be best for you. Like people on SS don't have to pay things till after the 3rd. Maybe explain to them that your pay day lands on a certain day so that is the day you have to pay.

And I'm renting now as well. Our rent is due by the 5th, with a 10 day grace period after that. And then a $10 late fee if it's after the 15th. Our landlord is pretty cool. Hell, our home was up for sale and she took it off the market so we could rent it for $350 a month. I wanted to tell her she was insane, but I figured we should jump on it because you cannot find anything that ridiculously low anymore. She's an old widow and this is her first time doing this stuff. She said her husband always did it so she didn't know exactly what to charge us.
