This is one of the series of successful excuses for not paying your rent that worked on me, the landlord. Follow-me to make sure you do not miss any. One is sure to work for you if you know how to use them, and I will share tips on how to do just that. To see an overview of these excuses and why they worked on me, go to my first posting on it at: www.bit.ly/2xenJRY

And don’t laugh too hard when you read some of these. Enjoy my suffering. My loss can be your gain.
Your landlord is going to hate me for this.

Rent Excuse 8:

“I'll have it by Saturday.” (or Sunday)

Again, although this is similar to Excuses 6 and 7 it is different due to being on a weekend. While this excuse may get you the initial extension that it purports to request, it also sets the landlord up for a follow-up excuse (#9), which you can give him on Saturday. In addition, even by itself it gets you an extension to a day when you are likely to be gone for weekend activities and not easily found by your landlord.

Rent Excuse 9: (Used on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays)

“The banks are closed today and I can't cash my check until Monday.”

Even if you got paid on Friday, you may have gotten paid too late to make it to the bank (especially if you are purposely too slow). In many cities, the banks are open on Saturday morning, so it behooves you to either bank somewhere that isn't open or to make sure you avoid your landlord until after the bank closes. This excuse works well as a follow-up to Excuse 8.

Don’t forget to follow me to learn all these excuses. One is bound to fit your situation.
