New Landlord Introduction Letter

Letters Kate

When you purchase a property that is already in the possession of a tenant, you become that tenant’s new landlord. The tenant has never dealt with you before and does not know anything about you. So, you should introduce yourself to him.

A tenant has to interact with the owner of the property quite often, and it is not possible to remain unaware of the new landlord.  Therefore, the landlord must introduce himself so that the tenancy relationship can continue smoothly.

What is a new landlord’s introduction letter?

An introduction letter is the best way to introduce a new landlord to a tenant. In general, the old landlord writes this letter to the tenant, letting him know about the sale of the property and the new landlord. A new landlord should write the letter himself. No one can introduce him better than himself.

What does an introduction letter do for a tenant?

The tenant should know about the new property owner. There are lots of changes that are made after this transition such as a change in the tenancy agreement, terms and conditions of possessing the property of the landlord, and much more. This introduction letter ensures that the transition process becomes smooth.

What are the basic elements of the new landlord introduction letter?

Key elements of the introduction letter include:

Introduction of the landlord:

Since the purpose of this letter is to introduce the new property owner to the tenant, the introduction should be started as soon as the opening of the letter is written. In the introduction, the landlord can share his personal information.

Description of how much rent will be paid and how:

The rent amount to be paid by the tenant and the mode of payment should also be discussed with the tenant in this letter so that you don’t have to write another letter with these details.

Share your contact information:

The tenant will contact you after reading the letter from you. So, make it easy for the tenant to reach you. Provide your contact details.

Let the tenant know about the new tenancy agreement:

It is quite evident that you will sign a new contract with the tenant. Let the tenant know when you want to make it happen.
