On Tuesday, thousands of people in the U.S. were blocked from being able to pay rent on the first day of the month of October.
Online users in California, New York, Texas, and Colorado have all reported issues, along with other states across the nation.
Although the exact number of people affected is currently unknown, RentCafe has previously reported that it receives over 80 million visits annually.
Meanwhile, online users on Reddit, a social news aggregation, content rating, and forum social network, claimed that they had spoken with their landlords, who maintained that the rent payment website “should be fixed by tomorrow.”
Additionally, other renters were reportedly told by landlords that their payments are not considered late until October 5th, so they still have time to pay, even though the platform is down.
