Further things to consider when writing transmittal letters to tenants

Transmittal Letters

Transmittal letters are letters written to accompany important documents such as financial reports, proposals, security certificates, or any other sensitive information. Such letters are usually sent by businesses, organizations, or individuals to provide information about the corresponding documents. Generally speaking, a transmittal letter explains the document, why it should receive the recipient's consideration, and what he/she should do with it. The recipient reads the transmittal letter to identify the context in which he/she should view the document. Sometimes, cover letters that accompany job applications and resumes are also called transmittal letters.

The main purpose of transmittal letters is to introduce other documents. Therefore, they need to be as neat and clear as possible. State the document name. Give a brief content description and the reason for sending. Include actions the recipient should take like notifying the sender of the document's receipt or forwarding it to another person. Include important deadlines and dates that the recipient should be made aware of. Highlight the major points or sections of the document. Be brief and do not let the letter exceed one page. End with your contact information, statement of thanks, and offers of assistance. Print the letter on the company's letterhead.

Letters to Tenants

Letters to tenants are letters written to people who have occupied property or land rented from a landlord. If you are a landlord, there are a thousand reasons why you may want to write a letter to a tenant. It could be to give a warning, to evict a tenant or even to inform him/her of a rent increase. When writing any of these letters, the landlord needs to make sure that the letter communicates the right information to the tenant and carries the appropriate weight. He/she must also comply with the local and state laws when drafting or delivering an eviction letter.

When writing letters to tenants, it is important to reread the lease to make sure that whatever you are addressing is referenced in the lease. Start the letter with the proper tenant's name and address. Write a clear subject line that explains the purpose of your letter. Address the issue at hand and provide all the necessary information. Give proper guidelines and time frames especially for warning and eviction letters. Make the letter formal so that the tenant understands the seriousness of the situation. Close with a call to action. Sign and date the letter.
