you can definitely REQUEST delayed payment or partial payment, unfortunately it would be at the landlord's discretion to grant it & work with you but in this moment one would hope they understand the reality

I don't believe there is any way for us to mandate landlords agree at least for local level

Arlington does have an eviction prevention/emergency financial assistance program, but there is far greater need than the resources available.

Folks should contact 703-228-1300 or dhs@arlingtonva.us to explore this option/see what other programs might be available

From shutdown resources pg:

If you are experiencing difficulty paying your rent, contact your landlord as soon as possible. Ask if partial payments are accepted until the rent is paid in full. If so, write out a payment plan that reflects what you can afford.
