Example Letter #1
As you know, I have faithfully paid my rent on the tenth of the month for the past three
years. However, my grandmother has taken ill, and I must pay her medical bills on the
first of the month. I will need more than ten days to recover financially to pay rent, so I
am requesting that my rent due date be changed to the fifteenth of the month. You have
been a most reasonable landlord. I appreciate your taking the time to consider this small
amendment to our rental agreement.
Example Letter #2
I hope you agree that I have upheld my end of my lease with you since we moved in
over a year ago. However, something has developed that the lease does not cover;
consequently, I want to modify the lease to address that need so that there are no
misunderstandings.
My niece will be moving in with us on May 5. Since she is family, I trust you will allow
her to stay with us without an increase in the rent. The current lease seems to require a
rent increase for non-family members. I want to clarify that provision in writing so there
will be no question about her living with us. Would you please write me to confirm my
understanding of that provision?
