No one wants to end up in a situation where they are not able to afford the rent. This can be a scary time and you may worry about how you will make the rent and still pay for some of your other bills like utilities and groceries. You went in with a good budget for your apartment, but something may have happened with your job or you had a big financial emergency that put you underwater and now. you are trying to get back on track. There are a few steps that you can take to work to rectify some of this situation, but one thing to consider is communicating with your landlord.

You do not want to leave the landlord in the dark about this. You will find that the situation is much worse if you hide it and don’t pay the rent compared to coming forward and talking to the landlord about the problem and seeing if there are some solutions. The landlord may be understanding about this, especially if you have been a good tenant for a long time, and they may be willing to work with you.

Housing advocates recommend that you first go and talk to the property manager or the landlord to let them know you are struggling a bit. This will help them be aware of the situation, rather than assuming that you just do not want to pay them. Both of you can sit down and see if there is some kind of arrangement that will work for both parties. If you don’t communicate about the problem, then it can make things a million times worse.

If you do come up with an agreement with the landlord, make sure that it is in writing. You can then keep a log of the payments you make, which should include the amount that you pay and the dates, so that you and the landlord will have a record to rely on. You should try to catch up on the payments and get back on schedule as soon as possible.
