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.
Generally, grace periods are 30 days, although this period is governed by state laws. However, insurers will stop accepting claims a few weeks after your premium is due. When you pay your premium, they unlock (claim) payments, says Matt Tassey, past chairman of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education.
