Rent Payment Secrets: Show Your Responsibility and Earn Trust!

Pay your rent on time. It shows that you take your responsibility seriously and that you're reliable. If possible, set up automatic payments to ensure you never miss a due date. If you are going to be late with your rent tell your landlord about the situation. Don't leave it to them to draft a late notice, send it to you via certified mail, and post it on your door in order to find out what's going on. The more work and digging I have to do as a landlord to get that information the less trustworthy you appear to be.
