Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request an extension of my lease agreement for my current rental property located in the District of Columbia. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I am in need of more time to secure a new dwelling before moving out. As a responsible tenant, I understand the importance of adhering to the terms and conditions outlined in our original lease agreement. I am aware that my lease is set to expire on [date], but I kindly request your cooperation in granting me an extension of [X] months, until [new termination date]. The reason for this extension request is that I have encountered unforeseen difficulties in finding a suitable new residence within the desired timeframe. However, I want to assure you that I am actively searching for a new home and will continue to do so diligently. I believe that with the extra time, I will be able to secure a new dwelling that meets my needs and preferences. Please note that I remain committed to fulfilling all my financial obligations during the extended lease period. I will continue to pay rent promptly and in full, as well as ensure the property is well-maintained. In addition, I am willing to negotiate any necessary adjustments to the lease terms, such as rent increase or extending the notice period for termination, if required. I understand that granting this extension is subject to your approval and consideration. Please let me know your decision at your earliest convenience. I am open to discussing any concerns or alternative solutions you may have. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. I appreciate your prompt attention to my request, as it will greatly alleviate the stress of relocating without compromising my commitment as a renter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
