Today, I had to pay a $150 late fee because my landlord didn't receive the rent check. My boyfriend had addressed the envelope to himself and put the landlord's as the return address. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I learned that my building never received my rent check. Now not only do I have to pay a $40 late fee, but also a $40 fee to stop the payment of the check that went god knows where. FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, my landlord came and beat on my door demanding the rent check. I just got home from a trip and my wife was supposed to pay it while I was away. What happened to the money? Black Friday. FML
Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML
Today, I transferred rent to my landlord and realized I’d sent it to the wrong “Alex” in my contacts. My bank said the payment was already completed and they couldn’t reverse it without the other person’s permission. I had to message a guy I went on one awkward date with two years ago asking him to please send my rent money back. FML
Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML
Today, I found out, through Facebook, that my landlord hadn't been paying the mortgage on the house I'm renting from him. It's going into foreclosure. FML

Blaming your boyfriend for something you are responsible for? Really? Get a grip.

$150 late fee that's a to off!

the late fee is $50, but if you pay late you pay market value for rent, which is $100 more than I pay...so it totals 150 if it's late

I can see where he obviously messed up but I'm still thinking it's a little your fault because it's your responsibility to pay your rent no one else's. Maybe I'm just a jerk though

It's hard to believe people still use checks in the 21st century. Why not just pay your rent by automatic bank transfer?

A lot of rental properties prefer checks. I think they like the physical paper trail. Granted that could be solved with a receipt system or competent bookkeeping. I don't even have checks anymore. Haven't had a checkbook since 1999. My wife still does, and it's for those few stubborn bills where they won't take any other form of payment.
