   Late Rent Hardship Letter

Dear {landlord}:

I am so sorry to be late with the rent. I've enclosed a check for {partial amount} but I won't have the remainder until {date}.

I encountered an unexpected hardship due to {job loss/health scare/bank error/etc.}. However, this issue is in the process of being resolved and I don't anticipate having any trouble paying the rent in the future. As you know, I've rented from you for {period} with no late payments until this time.

I know that my renting from you is a business arrangement, but I also believe you to be a person of compassion and understanding, especially since {heartwarming incident}. Thank you so much for any leeway you can give me in this instance.
