The Agreement for Payment of Unpaid Rent is a legally binding document between a landlord and a tenant. This agreement outlines how the tenant will pay overdue rent, establishing a structured timeline to avoid eviction by the landlord. By enabling both parties to agree on payment terms, this form helps prevent conflicts and ensures compliance with state law requirements.
This form is beneficial in situations where a tenant is behind on rent payments, and the landlord wishes to provide an opportunity for repayment without proceeding with eviction. It is especially useful when the tenant communicates their financial difficulties and seeks to negotiate a plan for settling their overdue balances.
This form usually doesn’t need to be notarized. However, local laws or specific transactions may require it. Our online notarization service, powered by Notarize, lets you complete it remotely through a secure video session, available 24/7.

Set Up Rental Payment Reminders The most polite way to ask for payment is to ask before anyone is late! When you send a reminder a few days before the rent is due, you can be very polite. Sending a reminder about an upcoming payment rather than a request for a late payment is always going to be a more welcome message.
If you are having problems paying the rent contact your local Housing NSW. They may be able to help you. You can also seek help from a financial counsellor to plan a budget to manage your financial situation.
When your tenant still can't pay... Let them leave, if they simply can't pay it may be your best option. Simply let them break their contract (if you're still within the fixed term period) and leave your property. Then you can get a new tenant in and not waste any more time.
Kindly accept my sincere apologies for paying the rent late by Date/Period. I understand that the rent was supposed to be paid on Date. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to pay the rent on time. Because we share a good relationship from the beginning, I hope you allow me the extension this time.
Include the date at the top of the letter. Acknowledge that you you are behind in paying your rent and apologize for your actions. Explain the situation that has led to your current financial hardship. Stick to the facts, and resist the urge to write emotional appeals or project a negative attitude.
