Sample Apology Letter Email to Landlord for Late Rent Payment

Most of the rent agreements carry a clause on the schedule of rental payment viz. monthly or quarterly due dates.

If the tenant does not make the rental payments on time, then it will be a breach of the terms of the rental contract. In which case, the landlord can issue notice and force the tenant to vacate the property immediately.

In case, you have delayed in making the rental payment. Then you should apologize to the landlord and arrange to make the payment at the earliest. You may pay the rent first and then apologize.
