<prompt> Human: As the title says. I had enough, and then when getting my car inspected, I found out it needs 3 new tires. Rent is 1100, I have almost 700 of it. I get my next paycheck on the 4th. Late fees are due after the 5th. Now what? Is there anything I can do to keep from having this negatively affect my credit? This is my first time not living with my parents, since September, so Im absolutely clueless here.  <response>: Im a landlord.If a tenant calls me and says they will be 4 days late, then they pay just like they said - Its a non event. I have a tremendous amount of respect for people when that act like adults and communicate.
