When writing your own renters agreement you are able to include your own classes, such as tenants aren't allowed to have pets. However, these added clauses must be in line with both the landlord's and tenants' rights and if they infringe on these rights then they are void and can't stand up in a court of law.

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.
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.
