Lease agreement Changes and how to notify existing tenants.

sonyawiprud

Just trying to find the best solution for notifying 1400 tenants of a new lease agreement.

When we switched leases (to TSSA) we setup a notice in the Letters section and blast emailed them to everyone. Give them a time limit on the notice, as well. Of coarse those that don't have email, mail it out. Keep it in a certain folder in your email program and resend them every 2 weeks.

I wonder if this is considered a legal way of notifying tenants in CA? I'm of the assumption it needs to be in letter form by certified or USPS.

You'll want to send it the same way you send rate increase letters.  I don't use COM or Certified for those.  Just a regular first class letter.

All of lease terms stayed the same so there was only a change to the lease provider(?). You are right though, if the terms are changing, I'd send them via email and mail. I'm also in Texas and I know Cali has much more strict laws.
