Hi @Michael Phillips - I would recommend renewing the lease for another 12 months, sending them a copy of the new lease with the 4% increase you mentioned, and including a cover letter that notes the increase.

As the saying goes , good artist copy, and great artist steal !

." - this was for the vacant unit I was currently cleaning etc..This was surprising considering I wasn't previously notified of any lease, any prospective lease, any Section 8 inspections etc..I spoke with a representative of the management company on the phone and asked for a copy of the new lease, of which they refused.

There's a title company in town that says they specialize in tax sale title searches, so they can provide all interested parties that need to receive notice.Is it as easy as finding a template, copying and pasting parcel and owner information, sending out certified letters and taking out a newspaper ad? 

Does anyone have a copy of this letter that you would send to tenants?
