I’ve been in your situation a few times. I was just honest and explained the situation, which was I had lost my job was about to start a new one. I gave them a set date for when rent would be paid and offered to do part payments before that date if i was able to and was very apologetic about it. If this is your first time ever I doubt it will be a big issue for the RE because you have a demonstrated good history. My RE was really understanding said it was fine and didn’t make a big deal out of it. I did get reminder sms’s to say I was x number of days in arrears but this was due to the system being automated. So the RE may do this as well but I wouldn’t worry if they do.
Yes, highly recommend being honest and open. A year or so ago for some reason my ex-stepdad was still tied to my mum’s bank account and for some reason rent didn’t go through, so we were like a week behind or something. Mum (who is a property manager so it probably helped) was honest and apologetic and explained the situation. And it was fine, was able to pay it in the end. If you have any questions, I can ask my mum about stuff related to this?
