How to Approach Your Landlord about Late Rent Payments
Every household has a monthly obligation for many expenses or bills and one most important monthly expense in your budget is the rent fee. If the tenant doesn’t plan well for the monthly obligation, you will find out that you don't have enough money to pay the bills like rent.
Remember paying rent on time and in full is very important to your landlord, because your landlord pays various monthly bills associated with the property you live in. If the tenant doesn’t pay rent on time and in full, landlord will have to find a way to produce enough money out of their own pocket, which is very hard for your landlord.
Sometimes landlords face the same problems you do or maybe more do you have. If the landlord doesn’t have the money to pay the mortgage and other expanse for the home unit because your rent is late, they will charge late fees.
As long as tenant can pay the rent within the month, they don’t want tenant to leave; of course it’s very difficult to find good tenants and take back to start again; from showings to calling for references, etc.
Here's how to approach you landlord if you can't pay rent on time and in full:
- If you think you are running in to financial problems and your due date is coming, give a call to your landlord, approach them well and let them know your rent will be late. And if still you don’t have enough money in the due date, just give them whatever you can afford on that day- even if it's only $10. But if you still don’t have, call your landlord again and explain. Don’t hesitate to say sorry, than nothing to do.
- If the next month your pay dates changed, call you landlord and explain to them. Approach your landlord will adjust the rent due date to correspond with your pay cycle. To avoid problems in your payday, make sure you have to pay your landlord. Also ask your landlord to get any changes to your original agreement in writing; to protect both you and your landlord if any problem will arise.
