I would pay your landlord ASAP and make up some excuse that is not because of your budget issues. Say it was a bank glitch or that you were out of the country (someone else below rec'd this). If you give them the real reason it'll give them pause about renewing because they might not think you're financial stable to pay the rent every month moving forward.

Good luck. A lot of people on here not being so nice without realizing that it could be a tough time for people financially, especially this time of year.

small-time landlord here. While I'm happy to overlook small mistakes and short delays, it's pretty easy to see through bullshit like that. People with budget problems make up such excuses. This might work once, but not twice.

A few days late is not really that big of a deal with a big corporate landlord, usually. It's down to their policy. Everyone likes tenants that don't cause problems and pay their rent reliably. OP is still appreciated as a customer if she pays rent four days late once...

Yeah I thought about it. And I’ll just pay it to avoid that on my record. Especially with it being my first apartment.
