Yes, the landlord can change the date for rent due, but would have to do so with proper notice.
It sounds like, in this case, the landlord was being a dimwit.

Your landlord can change the rent due date, but he must give 30 days' written notice to modify written rental agreement.

You should send him a letter stating that he needs to send you proper written notice before changing the date that the rent is due. Good luck!

Do your have a written lease? If so, it should state when the rent is due.
