A:
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with pneumonia. Health issues can make managing daily tasks challenging, including keeping up with payments.
Being a day late on your rent doesn't automatically equate to discrimination. Landlords typically have policies regarding payment deadlines, but unexpected situations like illness are often understood. It might be helpful to communicate with your landlord, explain your situation, and see if they can offer some flexibility.
Additionally, check any local tenant protections that might apply to your situation. Many areas have laws to support tenants facing hardships. Taking these steps can help resolve the issue smoothly and reduce any stress during your recovery.
