RE: Late Rent Notice
Dear, [recipient name]
This letter serves as a formal notice demanding immediate payment of rent due under the terms of the rental agreement for the property located at [property address].
As of [date of letter], your rent payment is ____days past due. Your rent was due on [rent due date]. In addition, you owe late charges as provided by the lease agreement. The following is an itemization of the total amount due:
[unpaid rent] [late charges] [total due]
This is a serious matter that requires your immediate attention. If payment is not received by [payment deadline], we will be forced to take legal action to enforce your obligations under the rental agreement.
We understand that residents may occasionally face financial difficulties. However, please be advised that we cannot provide housing without receiving the agreed-upon rent.
It is always in your best interest to pay the outstanding rent before legal action is pursued. Such legal action could negatively impact your credit rating and hinder your ability to rent other properties in the future.
If you vacate the premises without paying the rent due, we will seek legal action against you to recover the funds. This may result in garnishment of your income or seizure of your personal belongings.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Payments can be made by [payment method]
Sincerely,
_________________________
