Well, you have to walk this path carefully to avoid appearing unsympathetic. I personally would go and tell them that I’m extremely sorry about what happened and that for the rent this month just pay as much as you are able to.
That would mean you would have to come up with the difference on your part but they’re going through a very hard time and may not be able to afford to pay you. In the meantime, if the mortage is a really a big issue you can call your company and ask for a temporary reduction in order to catch up on paymants.
