Overpaying 101: Because Who Needs to Pay Rent on Time?

Step 1: Wait until the 3rd of the month to pay your rent. This ensures you'll have enough time to rationalize why you need an extra week to pay.

Step 2: Call the landlord 5 times and pretend you were robbed. This usually buys you 2-3 extra days of overpayment.

Step 3: When confronted, feign ignorance and claim you've always paid on time. Repeat this phrase until the landlord gives up.
