TENANT LATE RENT WARNING & EXCUSES
Dear Resident:
Your rent is due on the day of the month. I'm sure you fully understand that we must start eviction proceedings immediately once a payment is late (no matter the reason) and report your late payment to both local and national tenant/credit reporting agencies. We still request, however, that you submit your reason for late payment for our records. For your convenience, and to avoid lengthy explanation, you may simply check the appropriate reason below and submit this form with your late payment. Hopefully, this form and your payment will be received before you're evicted. Even better, your payment will arrive on-time and you will not need this form
