I wanted to contact you today to ask if we could discuss your openness to a rental assistance. This file provides a sample letter to request rent relief or a payment plan from a landlord.No. Requesting rent assistance? This is a hardship letter accompanying my application for rental assistance. Complete this application if you are seeking rent, mortgage or utility assistance due to a crisis or recent loss of employment. If unable to sign up for a financial appointment, contact United Way 2-1-1 and request an updated list of agencies that may be able to assist. Call the FEMA Helpline at 8006213362 (TTY: 8004627585) to request the application. It is important that FEMA have your current contact information. Completing the pre-screening form does not guarantee rental assistance. A reasonable accommodation is a change in a rule, policy, or practice that could help a person with a disability use and enjoy their home.
