How do you communicate with your tenants-text vs. email vs.letter

[Ivan Ivanov]

Hi all,

Is text and/or email an acceptable way of discussing pending issues with your tenants? Or does any communication regarding rents, fees, utilities, etc. have to be done via mail? If for some reason you end up in court, would an email or a record of text conversation be enough proof that the tenant was made aware of a returned check for example?

I understand that most of you out there do not offer legal advice. I am just asking if any of you have a real life experience with this.

Thanks,

Ivan
