How to Write a Letter to a Tenant

As a landlord, it is important to have and maintain effective communication with your tenant. There are some issues that you can communicate to your tenant verbally. However, when there is a more serious issue or problem or when you are changing a policy, such as when rent is due, you should communicate with your tenant in writing. This ensures that there is no confusion and gives your tenant something to refer back to at any time.

      Add a header to the letter to your tenant. The header should include a "To" section, which includes the tenant's name and address, and a "From" section, which contains your name and address.

      Place a disclaimer at the top of the letter if it needs to be responded to within a certain timeframe. For example, the letter might say, "This letter must be responded to within 10 days of receiving it." Also, include the consequence of not doing so within the disclaimer.
