You are experiencing financial problems and want to ask your landlord if you can pay your rent late. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter explain: Why you cannot pay the rent When you will pay the rent. How you will ensure you can pay your rent in the future

Dear Mr Strickland, I am writing to you to request that you allow me to pay my rent late
this
month
. The reason is that I am having a few financial problems at the moment.
Last
month
, I was made redundant from my job due to the fact that the company I work for is closing down. Because I have not worked at the company for long, I have not received a redundancy payment,
therefore
leaving me short of money
this
month
. I can assure you that I will be able to pay the rent on the 15th of
next
month
. I have now found another job, and they have kindly agreed to give me an advance on my wages, but they are unable to arrange
this
until
next
week. I can assure you that I will be able to continue to pay rent at the full rate and on time in the future. As I mentioned, I have a new job and
this
is on a long-term contract, meaning that I will have a secure and timely income. I may
also
set up a direct debit so the payment goes to your automatically each
month
. I hope
this
will be acceptable to you, but please contact me if it is a problem. Yours sincerely, John
Streetham
Correct your spelling
Streatham
