Housing

​

TALKING TO A LANDLORD ABOUT RENT:

1. Talk to your landlord as soon as possible about your situation. 

2. Be open-minded when speaking to your landlord.

3. Be honest with them about your current situation.

4. Be ready to explain your game plan or options to your landlord:

    A. Are you going to be receiving the Stimulus Check and/or Unemployment?

             I. If so, when do you believe you will receive this and how much do you plan on

                giving to your landlord at that time.

    B. What is your job status?

             I. Is your job on hold? If so, when do you believe you will return?

             II. Will you be searching for new employment during this time?

    C. Discuss other options that could be available to make up your late rent.

             I. Can this month's rent be spread out into a payment plan?

             II. Do you have skills that would allow you to do maintenance or other work for

                 your landlord?

 

Make sure to put any payment plan or other plan in writing and have it signed and dated by your landlord.
