Rental Increase -Mail Not Delivered Within 5 Days- What do I do?

[Deborah Vaupen]

Hi All,

I am a new landlord and need some advice.  I sent a rental increase in a non-rent controlled area via Certified Mail 35 days before the increase is to take effect (30 days + 5 days for mail).  I also posted, open faced, the notice of the rental increase on their front door.

Question:  the certified mail still hasn't arrived, and it has been 12 days since I mailed it, and now 6 days late for the mailed notice.  Do the tenants still have sufficient notice, given that the notice was posted on their door, and I can see it was taken down?

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Kind regards,

Deborah
