Why did I receive a notice when I paid the rent on the 2nd of the month?

As outlined in this Handbook before and the agreement, rent is due on the 1st and late if not received by 5 pm on the 1st of the month. Once the 1st of the month passes, late fees may be assessed and we begin preparing notices for non-payment of rent. Obviously, we served the notice before we received payment. HappyDoors serves Notices based on state landlord/tenant law requirements and their obligations to the owner of the property.
