Technically speaking, rent was paid on time and the three-day notice was not necessary, especially since he was notified that the money would not be deposited until the the 4th or 5th (and even so, the 4th or 5th is still considered on-time as far as the lease states). I have also told the landlord more than once that we'll put half in at the half-way point if we have the money then. Since posting this, I have notified my landlord multiple times that I would deposit the full rent at the end of the month, and he has continued to call me 4-5 times per day asking if I put the money in yet. I consider that to be harassment.
