Letter to your landlord (draft template)

A record-request letter you can adapt. Replace every [bracketed placeholder] yourself — NestIQ never sees or stores those details.

Subject: N12 notice - written details and documents requested

[Letter date]

Dear [Landlord or property manager name],

I am writing about the N12 notice for [Rental unit address], which I received or reviewed on [Relevant date].
Please respond in writing by [Requested written response date].

1. Identify the person who is said to require the rental unit and the expected move-in plan.
2. Confirm the compensation amount and when you intend to pay it.
3. Confirm whether an L2 application has been filed or will be filed, and provide any related file number if available.

Timing guidance: 60 days' notice; compensation due by termination date; T5 within 12 months of moving out. The exact date still depends on missing facts or source review.

1. Confirm: Case-specific dates, documents, facts, and tribunal history.

I will keep the notice, envelope or delivery proof, compensation records, listings, messages, and this correspondence for my file.

Sincerely,
[Tenant name]

• Template-only draft. Do not store names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, raw questions, uploaded documents, or raw notice text in this object.
• Replace placeholders outside NestIQ and keep proof of delivery outside NestIQ until privacy/RLS approval exists.
