So today is the 7th of July, I paid my rent 1 day late, it's due on the 5th. On the 6th of the month my landlord informed me of the date change stating rent is now due on the 3rd. My question is, is that actually legal, no advance notice to change in rental agreement?

Do you have a lease? The date due on the lease is the date the rent is due, period. If no lease the landlord must give you a 30 day (not one month) written notice for any changes in the rental agreement. This includes any change in terms, increase, due date, or whatever. Most states allow a late fee for tenants as well so always pay on time.

Honestly, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I think your landlord clarified that for you. I would consider your rent to be due by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the 7th of every month. I have my rent set up with my bank to pay on the 25th (five days early) of every month. This way I know I'm on-time every time, and my landlord appreciates getting paid early. This has translated in very good treatment from him whenever I have a problem. I highly recommend it.

Your rent is probably due on the 1st with a 5 day grace period. It sounds like you are getting on his nerves by playing it to the edge every month. Read your lease, it's all gonna be in the lease in black and white.

what does your lease say?
if you pay your rent late the landlord can do whatever is in the lease.
in michigan however. a landlord can break a lease and ask for his property whenever he wants. if he chooses to evict you, he has to give you thirty days notice of a court date ( i think from the date of filing not from the date you dont pay your rent)
and when you go to court they give you time.
but the landlord has the key so
um. starbux is usually hiring?

If your lease says the rent is due the 5th, and there aren't any clauses in the lease about changing the date, then the 5th is when it's due.

it is only legal to do that in 3 states. but if he makes you pay a late fee then you could call and ask a judge for a better detailed answer.

should be a written agreement. I would think they need to follow that unless you sign another agreement?

Not unless you both agree to it in WRITING. If he wants to arbitrarily change the date tell him to stick it. If he wants to toss you out, get an attorney.

Read your lease. It does not matter what he says, what's in wrinting?
