  1. Negotiate a payment plan with your tenant if they cannot pay their rent. Waving a late fee will help the tenant to work with you
  2. Divide out the missed month’s rent among the remaining months on the rental contract
  3. Defer the payment until the last month of the lease
  4. Work with your tenants, and let them see you are willing to meet them halfway
