Online, the apt. website asked for routing number, account number, name, and eveything, which i provided. Also, I had more than enough balance left in my account. The rent was due Aug 3, so I paid on Aug 1. But they did not notify me until afternoon on Aug 3, and said the rent got bounced, and that I owe them 25 dollars extra. So I asked them if I try paying online again, will I know the result right away? They said No, and that I will be charged late fee of 50 dollars if I do not pay by Aug 3, which is today. Thanks.

Pay your rent in a check to the apartment today. Do it in person so that you can get a receipt that it was properly paid by aug. 3. Do not give them the $25, but discuss it. You tried to pay them yet their bank rejected it. You shouldn't have to pay for their bank's error when they provide this as a method of payment.
What doesn't make sense to me is why there is a late charge when the rent is due Aug. 3?

Some states have statutes that limit how soon late charges can be assessed, and how much they can be.
Might want to educate yourself on your state's Landlord and Tenant Law.
