Provide new renters with the essential information they need to start a new tenancy. With this letter, you can clearly lay out topics too detailed to be outlined in the lease, including:
emergency contact information and instructions
rules and procedures that are too numerous or detailed for a lease or rental agreement
Give new tenants the basic information they need in one document
Your lease or rental agreement gives the broad overview and legal details involved in renting out a dwelling, but it's important to provide a new tenant with the basic information they need at the beginning of their tenancy. Nolo's Move-In Letter provides you with the basics for creating a move-in letter suitable for your building and situation.
In one document, clearly lay out:
the manager's phone number and other contact information
emergency contact information and instructions
rules and procedures that are too numerous or detailed for a lease or rental agreement
maintenance dos and don'ts
new roommate procedure
an overview of the move-out procedure
Plus, as an extra precaution, be sure to have the tenant sign the final page indicating that they have read and understood the contents to avoid disputes down the road.
