Move out letter (s) by Erica on January 26, 2015 @09:08

I like the move out letters you have and plan to send them to my tenants who wish to vacate at the end of February....
Is there an optimum time to send the Moveout Reminder letter or the Tenants Notice of Intention to Vacate?
Should I send them together?
Is mailing ok or should I hand it to them?
Thanks!

I am assuming you are asking about letters of nonrenewal. First you must be familiar with the requirements of your state. Many states require a 30 day but while others require 60. Send the notice by both receipted, certified mail and by regular mail. You may even post an additional copy on the door. Simply handing the notice to the tenant is not recommended. One, you will have no receipt showing it was properly served and two, you are likely to be rudely dealt with. If your state requires a 30 day notice, you must get the notices out immediately.

I agree with Wilford. Remember, 30 days is the minimum no. of days notice the tenants must get their notice by. Since Feb. has 28 days, the Ts need to receive their notices by this Thursday, so you must mail them out by Tuesday's mail. You can hand-deliver them, but they should sign another copy of your notice saying they received a copy of it.
