5. Legal notice for tenancy agreement
For monthly tenancy plans, ninety days notice period is necessary in some states. Inquire
about it from the state authorities.
If the tenants have been negligent in taking adequate care of the premises or if they
haven't paid their rent and taxes, the landlord can ask them to vacate the premises.
While drafting the letter, mention the name and address of the tenant and the landlord
exactly as it appears in the tenancy agreement. The date of the letter plays a crucial role
in eviction letters. After all, it decides the exact number of days until the last day of
eviction.
Present all the facts clearly and with complete authenticity.
End the letter highlighting the objective of writing the letter. Once the eviction letter is
served, maintain a written proof that reflects that the tenant has received it, e.g.
signature of tenant on a receipt.
The eviction letter may be served by the landlord himself or with the hired help of the
sheriff in the locality.
If the tenant is unavailable for receiving the eviction letter, the same may be published in
the local newspaper. However, this option may or may not be permitted by your state. It
is recommended that you take legal advice before choosing this resort.
An eviction letter has strong impact on the tenants and they do respond with more
awareness, negotiate with the property owner and end up paying the overdue rent. Hope
