The Late Rent Notice is designed to be used by a landlord/manager of rental units, to prompt a tenant to pay delinquent rent. If the tenant does not pay within the allotted time, the landlord/manager may begin the process of ending the rental agreement and evicting the tenant, using the procedures specified by state and/or local law. The person preparing and signing this letter must be the landlord or be an employee or representative of the landlord. If any other person (for example, the landlord's attorney) signs this notice, you may be required to comply with the stringent requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Furthermore, your state may have its own collection requirements which must be considered. Contact your state's attorney general's office or a lawyer for additional information This is a general letter to demand past due rent. It is not a legal document used in connection with the eviction process. If you have any questions concerning the eviction process, you should carefully review the appropriate statutes or contact an attorney for assistance. |
