We have a section in our rental agreement giving us permission to do so for any business purposes.  I inform the tenants during the move in process that our forms of communication include email, text and calls.  Not everyone provides an email to us, so the texting comes in super handy.  Shown below

16.  Permission to Call, Text and/or E-Mail:   'Occupant' recognizes 'Operator' and 'Occupant' are entering into a business relationship at the Facility.  As such, to the extent any Federal or State law prohibits 'Operator' from contacting Occupant by phone, text (SMS), or e-mail, 'Occupant' hereby consents to 'Operator' phoning, texting (SMS) and e-mailing 'Occupant' and that these conditions are related to the business relationship.

6. Communication.  Renter consents to Operator contacting by phone, email, text message or social media with regards to the business relationship between Operator and Renter.  For this reason, Renter shall apprise Operator of any change in their mailing address, email or phone number in writing within twenty (20) days of such change.

I verbally advise them of it & if at any point they request that I do not text them, I remove that option.

Same as above, they agree in contract.

It's in the contract.  Do they read it?  Nope!  But they sign it!
