Can my landlord change the plan after we sign it?

Not the amount, and not on their own. A signed plan runs to the end, or the landlord forgives what is left, or it defaults. The one thing that can change is the DATE of a single installment, and only if both of you want it to: either side can ask, only the landlord can agree, and until they do the installment is still due on its original date.

If a date stops working

A signed plan cannot be re-priced — but a single installment can be moved to a LATER date, if your landlord agrees. Either of you can ask; only the landlord can agree. How many moves a plan allows and how far a date may move are set by the landlord, disclosed in the agreement you signed, and shown on the plan.

  • Nothing moves when you ask. Until your landlord agrees, that installment is still due on its original date and will be collected then — keep the money aside if you can.
  • Nothing else changes. The same total, the same number of installments, the same signed agreement. Only that one date moves.
  • It can only move LATER. Paying an installment early needs no permission at all and can be done from the rent screen at any time.
  • If the answer is no, you are told the date the money is still needed on. Tell your landlord before the date rather than after — a missed installment can put the whole plan into default.
