My sister actually had this happen, her rent check got lost in the mail. It is on the onus of the tenant to ensure payment is delivered by the due date. As long as this appeared to be a one-time occurance, I would generally allow for 3-4 days for them to ensure payment. Again, it is still the tenant's responsibility to ensure the rent is delivered and received by the landlord. Ideally, if they want to ensure this, certified mail would be the best way, although at a cost.
