Dear Mr. Henderson,
I am writing regarding the lease agreement for the apartment on High Street, which is scheduled to commence on the first of next month. Unfortunately, I have encountered an unforeseen change in my circumstances that will prevent me from taking possession of the property on our agreed date.
My current employer has unexpectedly required me to complete a project in Manchester that was not originally on my schedule. This assignment is mandatory and will keep me away from the city until the end of next month. Furthermore, I am currently dealing with a family emergency that requires my presence in another region, adding significant complexity to my relocation plans.
Given these developments, I would like to request a delay in my move-in date. I am confident that I will be able to relocate and settle into the apartment by the fifteenth of the following month. I am fully prepared to pay the rent for the period I am away to ensure the property remains secured for my tenancy.
I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Julian Thorne
