In law, the relationship between the landlord and the tenant is contractual and thus both parties have a legal obligation to respect the contract. This means the parties are free to negotiate and agree on the terms and conditions of the contract/relationship, including the payable rent and the date on which it is payable, among other things.

Once the contract also known as tenancy covenant is agreed upon, any change in the agreed terms is a breach of the contract. It sad when a tenant bridges their contract and makes a turn for the worst.
