What do I do if I can't afford the rent?

If you can't afford the rent on your property, the first thing you should do is let the leasing agent or landlord know. If they're good, they'll look after you in some shape or form. They might be able to give you a short period of time to find the rent for the property. For example, if you've lost a job, you may be given time to find a new job. though then they may actually expect the full payment that you owe on the rented property once you've found a job. Alternatively, if you cannot afford your rent, they might spread those payments for you over a period of time. The sooner you let that agent or landlord know the more likely they are to try and help you through what is clearly a difficult time.
