Communication with your landlord is crucial.
Life happens with changes in income, expense, health, family dynamics, etc. Tenants who communicate with their landlord when they have a change in circumstances gives a landlord the possibility of helping the tenant through the challenge. As a landlord we can offer another property that is less expensive or a larger home in the case of an addition to the family.
A landlord is much more willing to work with a tenant when they have a change of circumstances if they have been a good tenant during the time of their lease. Paying rent on time, maintaining the exterior and interior of the property, being a good neighbor are all vitally important.
