Request for Rent Payment Extension

This document is a request for an extension of the rent payment. In some cases, tenants are laid off, dismissed or find themselves in a less stable work situation. One of the major payments that people face each month is the payment of their rent. In this document, a tenant can ask their landlord for an extension on the rent payment.

This document is fairly simple and contains only the basic elements needed to make this request.

This application is for a tenant who wants to apply for an extension to pay his rent. For landlords who wish to complete an agreement for deferral, suspension or other plan for payment of rent, the Temporary Modification Agreement for Payment of Rent is more suitable.

How do I use this document?

This document asks only a few simple questions about the rent situation and is automatically filled out with a complete letter.

Contact information for the landlord and tenant is requested, as well as some basic information about the rent, such as the due date and the length of the extension requested by the tenant. Finally, a question is asked whether the lease contains provisions for late payment of rent.

Once this document is completed, it must be signed and delivered to the landlord either by mail or e-mail. The tenant should keep a copy for their records.

Applicable Law

Each Province and Territory will have its own legislation governing residential and commercial tenancies. Lease agreements may also govern requests for payment extensions. In some Provinces or Territories, it's illegal to charge a penalty or interest for late rent of a residential tenancy.
