2. Talk to your landlord
Question and answer
What can happen if I do not pay my rent on time?You might want to tell your landlord if you know you will not be able to pay your rent on time. Some landlords might be willing to wait or to work out a payment plan with you. To make a payment plan, you must use the (LTB) Payment Agreement form.
Before you sign any written agreement, try to get legal advice. If you sign an agreement and then do not follow it, your landlord might be able to apply for an eviction without giving any and without a hearing.
Or maybe you do not really owe rent. You might be able to convince your landlord that they have made a mistake. It will help if you have receipts to prove all your payments.
