Do NOT send this letter! You have just started a war between the tenants by letting one know the other is complaining. You have just told the tenant to terminate his lease if he doesn't like the noise and gave tacit approval for him to do so. Why would you even suggest this?! Don't combine multiple violations on the same notice. The non-payment should warrant a Pay or Quit notice. A legitimate noise complaint should receive a warning letter. If the complaint isn't legit, send nothing. Why would you tell them not to talk to the other neighbor about noise? Couldn't you expect them to be reasonable? You have just told them to complain to you about any and every noise complaint. (Including telling them to complain to you when the noise is reasonable during daytime hours.) Why didn't you just suggest that they call the police and forward you a copy of the police report for any disturbance calls (if you wanted to set a procedure). Isn't this already in your lease or rules? The procedure should be 1) call the cops, 2) send you a copy of the report with your complaint. It is OK to reinforce the only contact number for the tenants. I wouldn't mention who it was, just say that you are the only contact person and that no one else should be disturbed with tenant requests. Reinforce the number they are to call.
