Be careful, however, as they are limits to the questions you can legally ask.Make sure that the application includes all the pertinent information: Full name, ss number, previous addresses and landlord info, verifiable income level, number of occupants, release signature (legally required for criminal background and credits and employment verification), and two pay stubs.Make a copy of the tenant's photo id and offer them your tenant manual to read.The key to the process is to be patient and as thorough as possible.Best of luck to you!

The reason I am not renewing my lease is: ___________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________ ___________Tenant’s Name Tenant’s Signature Date__________________________ _____________________________ ___________Tenant’s Name Tenant’s Signature DateThis renewal shall become an addendum to the original lease, and the terms and conditions of the original lease shall remain in full force and effect.Sincerely,Management

The letter is computer generated from a company out of state, there is no signature on it.

I would email and certify mail with signature required. 

You don't need all signatures on the same piece of paper.BTW, I saw that the Nolo California law book is on sale for Father's Day, if you're interested in getting it.  

For example, the certified mail signature not matching the signature on the lease. 

As soon as I close, I was planning to send certified, signature-required termination letters (30 or 60 days) to the tenants.

I made all my payments via certified mail, signature required, because I didn't trust him lol.
