It is bill due like any other. The day it is due does not change, for us its the 3rd of every month, so it is up to them to be certain that the money is in the bank no matter what day they get paid. I assume most landlords do not customize rent due dates based on which day every resident gets paid.
I understand that, but when I was married, my ex-wife was a school teacher who did not get paid until the 10th; so it would take a little extra planning to make sure payments do not get refused. But when you have a large chunk of a household income not come in on the first of the month (if not all); it can be a problem when something major comes up (car repair, medical bill). If I was in that situation again, I would NOT sign a recurring transaction authorization, and would pay you with a check WHEN I GOT paid for the following month (i.s.; I get paid on the 10th of June, on the 10th of June, I would write you a check for my JULY rent). This way, my rent is the first thing that comes out (after taxes and other withholdings).
