Short answer: late stage capitalism
Long answer: Because they don’t have enough money to make rent on time and the associated fees are less than the late fees. Being poor is expensive.

I just moved from a shithole place that used and promoted Flex. The alternative was $300 late fees.

Pay earlier to avoid fees?

I’m so grateful that big brain lent a fraction of their vast intelligence to think of us simple folk.

I’m genuinely curious why you can’t pay earlier…

Do you tell deaf people to just hear as well?

He said he has to use flex or pay late fees. I’m curious what the alternative to flex is that forces him to pay late fees and why paying a few days earlier somehow doesn’t work to avoid fees. Just seems weird to me, but I’ve never been in that situation.
