Act fast — your first step should be to contact your landlord immediately.
- Apologise and provide a valid reason for the missed payment.
- If possible, offer to make full or part payment.
- If you’re unable to pay, communicate clearly with your landlord and explain your situation.
Do not ignore the issue. Lack of communication may lead to:
- Legal proceedings.
- Termination of your lease.
- Eviction.
- A negative reference which could impact future rental opportunities.
