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.
The mortgage grace period is the period of time during which a loan payment may be made after its due date without incurring a late penalty. The grace period on mortgage payments is specified as part of the terms of the loan in the Note. It typically will start the day after the official mortgage due date and run for one or two weeks. Payment grace periods apply only to mortgages on which interest is calculated monthly. Simple interest mortgages do not have a grace period because interest accrues daily.
