how to send your letter
the rent demand letter can be sent either:
-
by post - allow at least 3 working days for delivery when you use royal mail to post your letter. consider using a recorded delivery service, which allows your letter to be tracked. ask for proof of postage and keep it in a safe place
-
by hand - this involved personally posting the letter into the postbox of the recipient’s address or giving the letter to the recipient in person. this gives you the security of knowing when the letter gets to the recipient and removes uncertainty about the method of posting. you can take someone with you to witness delivery of the letter. after delivering the letter:
-
write a note of the time and date of delivering the letter
-
sign and date the note, and
-
ask the witness to sign and add their name, address and occupation and the date directly underneath your signature. your witness should not be related to you, must have mental capacity and must not be under the age of 18
-
-
by email - request a ‘read receipt’ as proof of delivery
keep a copy of the landlord reference letter for your records. if an agent sends the letter on behalf of the landlord, both the agent and the landlord should keep a copy of the letter for their records.
you should also keep proof of postage (if the letter was posted), read receipts (if the letter was emailed), or the witnessed note of delivery (if the letter was delivered in person).
