Write a script for a conversation about overdue rent. Amount owed, dates and history: [ARREARS_HISTORY]. Tenant circumstances shared with me: [TENANT_CIRCUMSTANCES]. Options I am willing to consider: [OPTIONS]. Provide an outline of a calm conversation: a respectful opening, facts of the arrears, listening to the tenant's situation, exploring options (payment plan, redirecting to local support services in [JURISDICTION]), agreeing next steps in writing, and closing. Include phrases to use and avoid, and a written summary template. Add guidance on records and on not making threats or promises beyond the lease. Mark legal steps, notice rules and support schemes [VERIFY] and recommend independent advice for both parties where available. Also add a note on self-care and boundaries for the landlord, a template for a payment plan agreement summary (to be checked with a professional), and a follow-up schedule. Nothing here replaces a lawyer. Tag jurisdiction-specific rules [VERIFY], name [JURISDICTION] wherever it matters, and list the questions I should take to a professional before sending or signing anything.
