Falling behind on rent is more common than owners admit

A slow season, a client who paid late or a major repair can push rent behind by a month or two. Landlords notice quickly, and the pressure builds. Working capital can help bridge the gap, but only if the underlying business is still bringing in steady deposits. That is the first thing we look at.

What funders weigh in this situation

Rent arrears themselves are not always visible on bank statements. What is visible is the pattern around them:

A business that fell behind after a single bad month but has recovering deposits reads very differently from one with declining sales every month.

Be honest with yourself first

Funding adds a repayment on top of rent. Before applying, sketch out your next few months: expected deposits, rent, payroll, suppliers and the new payment. If the numbers only work in a best-case month, a smaller amount or a different plan may be wiser. Our how much can I borrow page explains how amounts are sized.

Talking to your landlord

Many landlords prefer a clear plan to silence. If funding is on the way, telling them when you expect to catch up can buy goodwill. Some owners pair a catch-up payment with a business line of credit as a cushion for the months ahead.

How to apply

Send about three months of bank statements through the 5-minute application. No tax returns are required, FICO 500+ is considered, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Related reading: funding to catch up on supplier bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get funding if I am behind on my lease?

You can apply. We look at your deposits, existing obligations and the overall trend. Being behind on rent is one part of the picture rather than the whole decision.

Will you contact my landlord?

Our review is based on your application, bank statements and credit. If anything else is needed for your file, we will tell you first.

How much should I request?

Enough to cover the arrears and a reasonable cushion, but no more than your deposits can comfortably support alongside rent and other costs.

What if my landlord has already sent a notice?

Tell us up front. The urgency is understandable, and knowing the timeline helps us move your file efficiently. Funding still depends on your overall review.

Is a line of credit better than a lump sum here?

A lump sum fits a one-time catch-up. A line can fit if you expect a few more tight months. Your deposits and plans decide which makes more sense.

Back rent $26,000.00
CAM charges $25,000.00
Cash cushion $34,000.00
Utility arrears $27,500.00

How to improve your chances

A few steps can steady things while you catch up.

  • Give your landlord a written catch-up date
  • Map rent, payroll and new payments together
  • Pause nonessential spending for a few weeks
  • Collect overdue receivables before you borrow
