Andy Griffith has been married three times. With his first wife, Barbara, he adopted a son, Andrew Samuel Griffith Jr. (born in 1957 and known as Sam Griffith) and a daughter, Dixie Nan. Sam died in 1996 after years of alcoholism.
It is perfectly legal for a rental property owner to require the rent payment in full on or before the first of the month and to not offer any sort of grace period. Even with a grace period, the rental property owner legally has the right to serve notices regarding nonpayment of rent. I have seen many examples of landlords tightening their policies and rules, including a reduction or elimination of grace periods.
A landlord cannot use a 14-day notice to quit to evict you for late payment of rent. The law requires the landlord to give you 30 days' notice.If a landlord tries to evict you for repeated late payment and there are good reasons why your rent is always late, you should explain them to the landlord and the judge.
