Tpa FL Tenants w/EU address : NOTICE OF INTENT TO IMPOSE CLAIM ON
Tenants' forwarding address is in Europe. Since certified mail is not available, does it make sense to just send the NOTICE OF INTENTION TO IMPOSE CLAIM ON SECURITY DEPOSIT via email?
CERTIFIED MAIL is not available to overseas destinations, the tenants' permanent addresses are in Europe, and I have to send the NOTICE OF INTENTION TO IMPOSE CLAIM ON SECURITY DEPOSIT via Certified Mail as required by §83.49(3), Florida Statutes.
However, since certified mail is not available to overseas destination, sending the NOTICE OF INTENTION TO IMPOSE CLAIM ON SECURITY DEPOSIT letter via email to both tenants seems like the simplest, fastest, and most practical solution, and it's free. But I'm not sure what the law says about that.
The only other option I could find was Registered Letter, which costs about $25 per letter... 2 tenants would have to get letters... and then I would have to also send the deposit back after the waiting period, so that is 3 Registered Letters if I use that method, which would cost about $75 total.
