Can an apartment manager demand rent before it is due

They can't change the goal post like that at all. If you have it in writing what your payment dates are then they can't demand the money early. It's an unusal situation to be in, I've never come across it before and i've been renting for 15 years now.
My advise would be to get on to Threshold.ie they are free advise agency for renter and would be able to give you clearer advise on your situation.
You say it was a 'manager' demanding the rent early. If I was you I would contact the landlord directly and inform him/her of the situation, their details should be on the lease. I would also contact the agency this 'manager' works for to ensure they are aware of this person's actions. If they are aware I would then ask them to submitt their request in writing. It is very unprofessional for someone to turn up on your doorstep demanding money, never mind demanding money early! To be honest I get the impression someone is trying to pull a fast one on you.
Best of luck, I'd be interested to hear the outcome. Call Threshold now!
