<prompt> Human: I was in a car accident and need to pay for the damage to it in order to get back to work, so I can pay rent and its in turn gonna require that I pay rent to my landlord a couple days late. Ive never been late paying rent in my life so Im just stressed out this is gonna negatively impact me am I in such a big jam or should I chill out and just explain the situation to my landlord?Edit: Title: rent  <response>: Explain it to your landlord the situation and let them know that you will pay on whatever day you think you can pay. The fact youve never been late is good. But honest communication goes a long way.
