Re: Request for Extension of Time to Pay Rent — Residential Tenancy at ________ (rent period ________ to ________)


Dear ________,

I am the tenant under the residential tenancy agreement dated ________ in respect of the premises located at ________ (the Premises), under which the agreed rent is ________ payable ________ (the Tenancy).

I am writing to formally request a ________ extension of the time within which I am required to pay the rent that falls due for the period commencing ________ and ending ________ (the Outstanding Rent), being the sum of ________.

I am making this request because I am presently experiencing financial hardship. In particular, I am dealing with the following circumstances:

________

I respectfully request that you agree to the following arrangement:

  1. that I be permitted to pay the Outstanding Rent in full on or before ________; and
  2. that, in consideration of my making payment by that date, no late fee, penalty, interest or other charge be applied to the Outstanding Rent and that no further action be taken in respect of the delay.

I confirm that this request relates only to the Outstanding Rent identified above. I intend to continue to pay all future rent in full, on or before each due date, in accordance with the Tenancy.

I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my request during this difficult time. I look forward to your favourable response and am happy to discuss this matter further should you require any additional information. Thank you for your time and cooperation.


Yours sincerely,



________
Tenant
