FAQ
One of the best ways to tell if an individual makes a good tenant is if they are respectful. Not only does a good tenant pay the rent and other bills on time, but they take care of maintenance issues that are their responsibility. If they respect you as a landlord, they will alert you if something needs your attention.
Dear (Name of landlord or property manager), My name is (Your name) and I have a keen interest in renting the apartment you have available at (Property name or address). I currently live at (Your current address) and have lived there for (XX) years.
Begin the letter with the date on which you mail or deliver the letter in person. Include your name, address and phone number, followed by the tenant's name and address. You can also insert a subject line that summarizes the reason for the letter to vacate. Start with a salutation, followed by your tenant's name.
