To your private landlord :
Dear xxx (property manager ou landlord),
I’m sure you’ve seen what a mess our world and its economy has become and probably for quite a while.
Given our business everything has stopped and income is inexistant.
I was wondering if we could ask to reduce our monthly payment to $ xxx for the next two months.
I believe that 2 months from now we’ll be able to resume the regular $ xxx payments.
Thank you very much for your understanding and be assured that your help and consideration are very much appreciated.
Warm regards and please, you and your family, keep well,
xxx
