Then why does a landlord give the tenant their Email address if not for notification by tenant? Did you respond to the air conditioning request, then you have proper notice from tenant of their vacating/move out. The 'standard' response would be to clarify the tenants intentions of when and why they are moving. A landlord is limited by Electronic forms of notifications by law. As the precise way a notification must be handled is defined in the States Statues. If you are notifying the tenant of pest control coming by to spray rental, then an email might be the right response. But if you are evicting or notifying the tenant of a late payment, then email is not proper as written notice is required. As to the tenant, the law says a notice may be written, printed or both. The bottom line is that you have 'notice' of their moving, get ready for your next tenant.

"Then why does a landlord give the tenant their Email address if not for notification by tenant?" All the landlords who complain about email from their tenants need to ask themselves this question. When the tenant ask for an email address this would be the time to outline the required methods of communication. Phone calls for emergencies like water leaks and registered mail for maintenance requests and notices they are vacating. Then when the tenant does communicate with you, do not pretend like you never got the message.

She has my Email address as we came together over the internet through one of the sites that help tenants find rooms and landlords find tenants. Here's the kicker, She's renting a room in my home, we live together. I'm not pretending as though I have not gotten the text, I'm just discussed at how she has handled this whole thing, as she's a 37 year old adult. She has even text me to ask me if she can use me as a reference for her new landlord. I told her I would be fine with that. I believe that when terminating an agreement that it should be done in more professional manner. How she has handled this whole thing thing is rather cowardly and certainly unprofessional!
