Acceptance Letter
Hi,
I'm renting a house and I accepted verbally a couple that is moving from out of state. They won't be able to sign the lease until they come back from out of state next wednesday, in the mean time I'm still showing my property b/c they could change their mind but their realtor asked me to send him an acceptance letter. Is this standard practice in my situation? Any legality that I should be including in this letter?
Thanks.

1. Bring cashiers check/money order/cash ..for Deposit/1st month rent
2. Don't sign any lease paperwork until all monies paid
3. Don't give any keys until utilities transferred...
4 Make sure file complete(application/references, poi, poe, etc)
