If you are struggling with your Rent payments you should firstly contact your housing, Council or Landlord. Explain to them your situation and arrange a repayment plan or a payment arrangement date.
Rent Arrears – Talk To Your Landlord
It’s understandable that you would be afraid to tell your landlord or agent that the rent will be late.
But before you actually fail to pay up, it is far better to get the issue out in the open.
When you’re actually talking to your landlord:
Explain why the rent will be late and ask for some additional time.
To help ensure that it won’t happen again, be clear about what you’re doing to address the issue.
Identify the issue and map out a plan
It’ll be clear, in some situations, why you have a problem.
Maybe your earnings or expenses have unexpectedly changed for the worse.
For instance, because you lost your job or because your partner moved out and stopped contributing to the rent.
In other examples, it may simply be that you live beyond your means. You’ll need a strategy either way.
It could lead to eviction and a poor reference from your landlord if your rent is consistently late.
