What can I do here? Will they let me do this???

You should only be $330 behind if they keep your rental ledger by amounts instead of weeks. I would only be paying $330 and explaining the situation and that you can pay it off over x amount of weeks. Hopefully you have a nice agent who will agree to this, especially as it's taken so long to pick it up. Good luck

I think you only owe $330 as that was the rent payable at the time it was missed.

Also you're obviously a relatively long term tenant, therefore given that fact, and the fact that they took sooo long to pick it up, they should have no issues agreeing to a repayment plan over the next couple of months.

I'd suggest you write an email / letter to the agent stating what you will pay and when; they are more likely to agree if they have it in writing.

If you've always paid by DD I'd check your bank records and (if necessary) send them a copy to show that you're always up to date.

It would seem very strange that if you've always paid on the same day by DD then I don't understand how you could have missed a week.

I'd ask them to prove it before paying anything.

My realestate entered my rent onto their system wrong twice. one they picked up on but one they didnt. I was lucky i technically never fell behind as i made sure i was still aweek in advance when we paid rent. The RE never picked up on the s2nd lot of rent they entered in wrong. It wasnt until i asked for my tenant ledger that i noticed i wasnt as far in advance as i should have been. So yes it is possible that they can miss this.

You should only have to pay the $330 which is what the rent was when it was missed. They should atleast give you some extra time to gather this money together(like they would if you have a rent increase and have to pay extra towards the bond)

We had the same thing happen. A week behind since almost a year ago. They told us at the time and I wasn't sure that I paid it but thought I must have as they didn't say anything again. Then they sent us a remedy to breech thing saying it was behind.

No I don't think they can ask you to pay your current rent. They can only ask you to be paid up to where you need to be paid up to (current, or a week or fortnight in advance). So really you'd only be $330 behind where you should be, if you haven't missed anything else.

I'd give them a call and apologise, say that this was totally unexpected and you don't have an extra $330 laying around so can you please pay off a little bit over a few weeks.
